    I think an old gigabyte mid ATX. It maxed out at 16g of DDR3. It has 5? SATA ports plus I have a SAS card installed.

      Thanks.

      I just “retired” a similar board (it stopped booting 😕) - it was in an old Antec case that can handle about 10 drives, so I’m looking for something with good idle power. I expect to have to add a SATA card (already have one).

      How’d TrueNAS do for spinning down drives?

        Spinning down drives? As in keeping the RPM low if not in use? I have not monitored the drive spin since I’m typically using the server constantly.
