I am planning to build a very small NAS with this motherboard, with a Xeon E3-1275LV2, with a 45w tdp.
I would love to know if it can provide power to four 3.5" hdds through its SATA power connector, as i coundn't find a compatible PSU.
The DQ77KB has an internal power supply input connector, with 2 pins. Is there any PSU available anywhere that would have this connector, and would be able to also power four hdds? If not, the only option to use all the four SATA connectors is if the motherboard can provide enough power through its SATA power connector.
I wanted to use this motherboard inside a Chenbro ES34169 case, with 4 hot swaps.
This motherboard, is ideal for what i want, because of its mSATA slot, which i was planning to use for the OS, and the four SATA connectors for my storage.
But this power supply issue is really bothering me! ^^
