Home Server/NAS build

Make all of your clients HEVC compatible. If you dont need to stream over the internet then you wont need any transcoding, could run plex on an rPi.

12 to 8 seems like such a downgrade. Or 9 if you wanna call it that.

The X570 chipset is actually capable of supporting up to 12 SATA ports. Would make for a great home server - M.2 hanging off the CPU for the OS, and 12 SATA drives with no need for an add in card.

I don't know if we'll ever see a board that implements all 12 though, most of the board manufacturers are going down the route of multiple M.2s instead.

We've somewhat confused this thread with Coyler's request.


X570 doesn apply to what we were originally discussing, NAS style boxes, as its way up the TDP tier. Xeon D/EPYC 35xx is the name of the game.

Might be time for a fork.

Yeah, I’ll fork this to discuss multi-GPU boxen and how best to do it. I’ve since found some interesting options.
