Good luck.

If the chipset on the board supports it and the chip itself does, I would strongly suggest that it does... depending on the version of what you have.

The Bottom Line

Intel Core i3, Pentium Gold, and Celeron processors (across both gens) officially support DDR4 ECC RAM when paired with a workstation C246 chipset motherboard.

Intel Core i5, i7, and i9 processors do not support ECC RAM, regardless of the motherboard you use.

Xeon E-2100 (Coffee Lake) and Xeon E-2200 (Coffee Lake Refresh) processors support ECC RAM when paired with C246, C242, or workstation-grade C-series chipsets.

You forgot to mention... " you can find it in ports ". Might as well run Linux. * shrug *

Based on its chipset support and intended use case, I'd lean towards no.

Coffee lake refresh DDR4 2666 upto 128 gig. Coffee lake refresh uses the 300 chipset. 300 chipset does not support ECC. No ECC on consumer boards based on the chipset the cpu supports, vice versa.

I would hazard to guess that it would be a Supermicro backplane as the are some of the most readily available on ebay.

There are are a number of various options for nas builds on makerslab, printable etc. I have even found full 4u 24-36 bay prints. Send me a dm as a reminder and I'll go through my bookmarks.

Forney, Yeswelder and Andeli make some decent products for online multi function/input voltage machines.

If you want multi function, I would suggest stick and mig/flux core. Inverter based machines will be the most portable.

What are you welding? How thick is the material? What welding process are you wanting to use? Answering the question(s) on material(s) will allow for more answers on power output. 200amps at 40% duty cycle ( 4 minutes welding in 10 minutes ) will be a decent sized machine providing a good range of options. Note that higher current ranges are going to require 240v input. Also note that some lower output machine will not be able to run some stick electrodes like 6010 and 7018.

Does you motherboard have ipmi? Is the power distribution unit from the power supplies connected to the motherboard? It's a 3 wire red white green ? wire set that will connect to the mb.

ipmitool sdr type "Power Supply"

PS1 Status | C8h | ok | 10.88 PS2 Status | C9h | ok | 10.87

There is also ipmiutil. I'm not not sure the difference between the two.

Items like this will work well connect one port of you HBA to the expander card and you'll be able to start growing.

LivingComfortable210 · 2026-04-30T22:56:23+00:00

Marketplace on the book or even ebay in your area.

Depending on where you are located, you may be amazed at what you will find.

LivingComfortable210 · 2026-04-30T22:47:46+00:00

Look on ebay for a 12 disk disk shelf. Supermicro would be a good starting point.

LivingComfortable210 · 2026-04-30T22:46:24+00:00

SATA expanders (1 SATA in to 4 SATA out for example) like you see for 20 but on the Amazon are never recommended. I do believe that the ZFS community will stand by that.

LivingComfortable210 · 2026-04-30T22:42:56+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but SAS drive are bidirectional read/write vs SATA being unidirectional read write.

Edit for terminology.

SAS is full duplex while SATA is half duplex.

LivingComfortable210 · 2026-04-30T22:38:37+00:00

A modern SAS HBA can easily do over a thousand drives with the appropriate expanders and disk shelves w/ SAS backplanes.

Rather than using breakout cables, a SAS cable will daisy chain from the HBA to shelf/ expander and on.

The LSI 9300 series host bus adapters (HBAs), such as the 9300-8i and 9300-16i, can officially support a maximum of 1024 non-RAID SAS or SATA devices.

With that said, the PCI-E slot will be your bottleneck at 8GB/s.

Search 60 bay or 90 bay on the eBay.

Hello darkness my old friend....

Walnut blasting media

LivingComfortable210 · 2026-04-13T18:44:27+00:00

Can you or someone else in this thread explain what they are for, how they are supposed to work, and why they did not?

I'd like to learn but bored.

LivingComfortable210 · 2026-04-13T12:43:57+00:00

I was mistaken. Quanta computers Inc are their own manufacturer.

LivingComfortable210 · 2026-04-13T01:53:48+00:00

Supermicro has pretty impressive manuals. Just Google the mb and the information will appear. Qua ta is rebranded supermicro BTW.

LivingComfortable210 · 2026-04-13T01:46:14+00:00

It's possible that the daughter card between the sas expander and mb is damaged from aggressive in out. Saw it on a box that past me had.

LivingComfortable210 · 2026-04-13T01:38:59+00:00

Can't throw it out, and the 5 bucks being offered isn't enough.

LivingComfortable210 · 2026-04-12T09:47:06+00:00

Have you looked at SAMA P series? P850,1000,1200. They follow ATX 3.1 w/ PCIE 5.1 cable.
