I’m looking at some common desktop motherboards and a lot of them only have like 2 or 4 SATA ports.

How do people connect 10 hard drive disks to something like this? Or do I have to purchase an Enterprise Server Motherboard to support this use case?

I’m trying to build my own NAS/media center and I want a ton of storage.

    Consider splitting your compute and storage. A dedicated NAS and the connect your compute to it using nfs or iSCSI.
