I run a home made truenas on a supermicro xeon-d itx mobo with 6 sata ssd's and built in 10gbe
It works but it's quite power hungry compared to the more modern chips and runs quite hot. And while nice I don't really care about the IPMI.
I'm seeing so many nas focussed itx mobo's on your channel and others and it's really bewildering me that they waste all those lanes on 4 x 2.5gbe instead of 1 x 10 gbe (i get it if you're doing vm's but many of these are marketed as nas boards)!
Are you aware of any boards that support ECC, low power chip, on board 10gbe, and mITX?
I know i could stick in a nic but i'd rather use the pcie slot for something else like an HBA.
Thanks!
