Hi. Not exactly MB suggestion, but offer to expand your look on requirements. 6x/8x SATA may be replaced with one SAS board (some of LSI Logic based on PCI-E) and enough number of cables For example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085FT1LQ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012BPLYJC Thanks for the pointers. I have a (admittedly idiosyncratic) dislike of SCSI. It's probably because I've been writing code to work with (S)ATA for fifteen years, and haven't really wrapped my head around SAS. I'll keep that in mind though, if I can't find anything that suits my needs.
