I’m looking at some common desktop motherboards and a lot of them only have like 2 or 4 SATA ports. (But do have other M.2 or PCIe slots.)

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.

    Some pcie cards can add a buuunch more sata ports. There are also some m.2 cards that can do this.
