good lord....how would you ever use that many? lol

 

[kof2000]

is not that hard but you would definitely need a full tower

 

[heyman421]

my antec p180b is a monster, but even IT can only hold 7 hard drives, and 4 optical drives, still one drive short.

 

[ThatGuy16]

i could use 8 ....

Jeez, Very cool though.

 

[kof2000]

but we would not want a mobo with 12 ide port...

Can you imagine the mess of ribbon cables?!

lol would be nice to have 24tbs of space

 

[kof2000]

Geeze... I thought my A8N had a lot(8 SATA then 2 IDE )

 

[Jabes]

lol that is crazy

 

[TheOrangeDude]

holy crap that was lots of freaking stat ports.

 

[jutnm]

at most 4 i could use

 

[zaroba]

can you use them all at once? it looks like 6 are on a regular drive controller and 6 are on a raid controller. sometimes you can't use both drive controllers at the same time. but if you can use all 12, i'll have to look into getting that motherboard next

my Lian-Li case has 12 internal 3.5" bays and 7 external 5.25" bays. it would love that motherboard

 

[JamesBart]

haha thats crazy

 

[Shane]

Lol thats alot...i like how they put them all neat together

 

[Cromewell]

Looks like it's designed for a high level of RAID (like 5)

 

[heyman421]

here's a page with a SAS controller that can control 255 individual drives

now THAT's a lot
