I'm looking at setting up NAS using FreeNAS. I'm working on a parts list that would be that NAS system. I'm looking at the MiniITX motherboard form factor for compact-ness. The big down side is that motherboards of that size only have 1 or 2 sata ports. Can I use sata (data) splitters to allow more drives to be connected with functioning software RAID? I understand that using splitters will reduce the throughput of each drive. Thanks!
