Mini-ITX Motherboard for Small Business Home Server LGA1151 Socket 4 Ports 2.5GbE Dual M.2 8x SATA PCIe x16 BKHD C246 NAS ITX MB

C246-NAS-ITX-MB is a high-performance Mini-ITX motherboard for enterprise storage and edge computing. Based on the Intel C246 chipset, it supports the 8th-9th generation Core/Xeon E-2100 series processors (LGA1151 socket), provides dual M.2 NVMe SSD+ 8×SATA storage architecture and 4×2.5G Ethernet ports, and provides desktop-level server performance for virtualization platforms, AI reasoning and high-density NAS.

Core highlights

Server-level computing performance: supports Intel Xeon E-2100 series or Core i9 processors, optional ECC memory (Xeon platform and ECC UDIMM) to ensure data integrity.

Storage expansion breakthrough: 8 native SATA can be directly connected to HDD/SSD arrays, support hardware RAID 0/1/5/10, and build a massive storage pool. Dual M.2 NVMe 2280 can be configured as ZFS cache (accelerated small file read and write) or form RAID 0 (continuous read and write> 6GB/s).

Network and expansion capabilities: 4 2.5GbE network ports can support LACP aggregation, VLAN isolation management/storage/backup traffic, PCIe 3.0 x16 slot can support GPU accelerator card for AI video analysis or expand 25GbE network card for data center interconnection.

Enterprise-level reliability: Support hardware-level protection, watchdog automatic reset system downtime, power-off self-restart to ensure service continuity, dual 4pin fan interface can support PWM precise temperature control.
