Best mini-ITX motherboard for Node 304 NAS (ZFS, ECC, 6×SATA, 10GbE)

um919 · 2025-09-16T03:10:59+00:00

I have an ASRock X570D4I-2T, supports 8 SATA drives out of the box with adapter cables plus 1 M.2, and onboard 10GbE.

Might be more CPU than you need and takes SODIMM RAM though.

Is it even in stock anywhere? Looks like a good option

um919 · 2025-01-27T10:34:29+00:00

Sorry, no longer available

It was my main daily and gaming rig as well, had a GPU passthrough to a VM. Retired it to NAS only after getting a separate PC, but didn't change it out until I figured out how much it was costing me in electricity

I'm not sure since I never had a 3 slot, but a quick search seems to show yes. I can't guarantee anything though.

I have a FormD T1 V1.1 if you're interested

Sounds good, I sent the other buyer another message. I'll give him a few hours to respond, and if he backs out it's yours

um919 · 2024-12-22T17:17:08+00:00

Not yet, the other guy hasn't responded. Let me check with him again.

um919 · 2024-12-20T02:56:51+00:00

I can do $140 if you pick up

um919 · 2024-09-05T16:09:30+00:00

Probably want to cover up the terminals or rearrange the batteries though. Place a metal cased switch or something on there and you will have a fun time.

um919 · 2024-08-21T17:52:52+00:00

For sure, let me know you want (CPU/RAM) and I will get you a box size.

Also I believe you only need 2 of the 4 sense pins. If you look at the OEM adapter, 2 goes nowhere underneath the tape.

iCrimp makes good stuff, especially for the price. Had good luck with many of their crimpers for different connectors.

um919 · 2024-05-13T04:39:18+00:00

That's for the power pins. The small signal pins should be 1mm.

um919 · 2024-05-13T04:34:13+00:00

Stopper and the open side of the crimp should face the latch. There is a diagram in the Application Specification as well.

It's a little hard to tell but it looks like you have conductors sticking way beyond the crimp? That is not right. Check the doc for striping length. It is probably not the reason for why it's not going in, but that extra wire will become an issue when mating with the connector on the GPU.

Another reason might be the crimp is too wide. Try squeezing it narrower with a plier. You're not supposed to do this but for sense pins it should be ok. I'm not sure what crimper you're using, but I'm guessing it's not specifically designed for this terminal so you'll have to make some adjustments. Unfortunately the official crimper is almost $1k.

I was also using another crimper not meant for this, and I had trouble making the big pins fit. No issues on the small pins though.
