So we all know it's Computex and all motherboard manufacturers are showing off their new goodies.

Well, so did AsRock with their Z87 Extreme11/AC.

 

This board has no less than 26 SATA 6Gbps ports, 6 (SATA) from the Intel chipset, 16 (SATA/SAS) from an LSI SAS 3008 (with a port multiplier I think, I'm not sure), 1 eSATA (chip unknown) and 3 mSATA (also unknown, but I guess it will be the same chip as the eSATA) slots.

a bit over the top :3

Oh my! I doubt many cases are compatible with 26 drives. :D

I might pick one up for my storage server, will probably be cheaper then buying a good board and a decent RAID card.

I want that! :D If only they were all SATA 3 compatible. It would be perfect for all of those RAID lovers who don't want a RAID card.

They are (at least the ones on the side are).

Yeah, there wouldn't be enough space on the board to put that many sata ports on it.  :D

Skip out on the PCI-E slots?

It would be a good feature for building a vm machine, especially if it is on a dual xeon board.

Sata would be silly in that case, SF-8087 would be used on a board like that.

Lol all that on 16 pci-lanes! FAIL :D It will never perform like a rocket!

 

But I love the layout! But Asrock is not my brand :) But love to see the introduction price of this board. I think It will be a cable management nightmare. Sata cables aren't the strongest connection. So if you bundel cables you might pull them out of the connector. (scsi and pata is so much stronger when holding the cables in)

This is literally the most pointless motherboard in world. Anyone who needs that many Sata connections is either

1) going to buy a RAID card (thats what those PCI lanes are for no?)

2) Going with SAS drives rather than regular consumer drives. I mean come on who would put 22 SATA drives in RAID....srsly

ASRock actually had a build with 22 SSDs which was posted hre 3 days ago: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/23115-asrock-shows-off-z87-extreme11ac-build-with-22-ssds/. I doubt the controller will be as fast as any discrete raid card though, so anyone using many drives or especially anyone running RAID5/6 would be better off with a RAID card.

Wow, just wow. Who knows what kind of speeds you can get with 26 ssds in raid 0
