Hi all,
I have an old Niveus Media Storage Server that we bought back from a client. It's a great chassis (1U or so) and has four 1TB HDDs in it. The unit is based on a VIA EPIA-SN Mini-ITX Motherboard. I've been trying to rebuild it using something like FreeNAS, but keep getting recommendations that the motherboard is too old to use for this purpose.
So, NUCs being as powerful and as small as they are... would a board kit work? The only thing would be finding a way to add SATA ports. I've seen a couple mPCIe SATA controllers that have two ports, not sure about 4x ports.
Thoughts?
