Is there a MB with more sata ports that you would recommend?

Ok cool! Yeah I wont do a Raid then and just keep two HDD for backup. So this motherboard should be good
It supports upto 8gb ddr4 (I did see a review where a person was using upto 16gb they said)
And I'll get these HDD
WD Red 10TB 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s 10TB 5400rpm HDD
All of this will then be put in the SilverStone SST-DS380.. Does that look good?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Ah ok.. So then if anything I should get four 10tb drives and keep two of them as backup...
I’ve been reading up on transcoding (fairly new to all this) and I don’t think I’ll need it for my media boxes (zappiti one 4K hdr) because they should be able to handle everything. The only use I could see for transcoding, correct me if I’m wrong, is if I play some heavy files on my phone or iPad?
Thanks!

Is that not recommended? I wanted raid 5 in case a hard drive fails I won't lose everything. Or do you mean I shouldn't get the 10tb drives?

Hi everyone,
Was wondering if i could get your advice on my setup. I'm in the beginning phase of choosing parts for a home media server which, so far, is primarily going to be used for serving 4k video content to a couple rooms and backups for all the comps.
Right now I serve content through SMB to my media players but I would like to keep the option open for Plex or anything else. I would want the machine to be powerful enough in case I decide to add a VM or two.
I dont want the case to have a big footprint and I think this one is pretty good
I was wondering what mini-itx board to get with this. I looked at some threads and some people were recommending motherboards with chips built in. Would this one be suitable:
ASRock J3455-ITX .... Or if i get a normal ITX like this one: ASUS Intel LGA1151 H110.. what processor would you guys recommend?
For HDD, Ill start with three WD RED 10TB and have a software raid 5. Will add HDDs as time goes on. And if there arent enough SATA ports, I could get a pci-e card. RAM will depend on Motherboard I guess.
Budget is not that big an issue (within reason). Anyway I'll take any recommendations you guys have. Thanks for your help!
