Mobo for continuous work with 8+ sata 3 ports

[Snowiex]

Hey guys,

 

First of all, sorry about the open form of my question but it's a rather fresh topic. We wanted to test out building a workstation that would be used for cctv as an alternative for synologys diskstations.

Currently I'm looking for a motherboard that supports 8+ harddrives in raid5 and possibly an ssd for boot on its own. Do any of you have any suggestions as to which mobo is good for continuous work and can handle that many hdds?

 

Sorry in advance if the post is lacking, first time here. If there's a need to edit it let me know. Also, we have some ideas about other components but suggestions about that are also always welcome. I'll try to post an update with any picks a bit later.

 

Best regards!

Asus X99-E WS has 10 Sata ports but you could always get a raid card..

I would say Supermicro X11SAE-M with Xeon E3.

This is the cheapest Mainboard with combined Raid Controller for Raid 5.

Else you can use a Controller-Card.

Thanks for the quick replies! And what do you guys think about Asrock C2750D4I and C2550D4I ?

If the power of a Atom(Avoton) is enough then sure.

But if you want to stream from more than one camera(source) it wont be enough.

On the otherside the synology is also not equiped with a high-end CPU.

 

Edit: the c2550D4I and C2750D4I do not Support Raid 5

Yeah, I just realized the same thing. Well, I'll search a bit more once I'm back home and hopefully find something worth discussing.
