    Motherboard choice for 6 HDD RAID and 1 SSD

    Hi, I was hoping to get some opinions of which ITX motherboard to get for a future NAS build. The parts are I am pretty sure about: * HDD - 6 x WD 3TB red * RAM - 8GB 1600MHz kit * Case - Fractal node 304 * PSU - Corsair CX430 So I have a kingston V300 120GB SSD laying around and was hoping...
