As the title asks, is it possible to fit a modern motherboard into an old 3u server case with hot swap bays?
I ask because I may be able to get a SuperMicro 933 on the cheap which has x15 bays @ sata-300 speeds, but at the time only supported like 500GB size drives. Would the drive size limitation be tied to the raid card? And fitting a newer motherboard with a newer raid card allow for say 2TB drives?
I'm not to bothered about the sata speeds, as it's going to be used as home storage. I would want to fit a newer modern Intel board to this case, would any of this be possible?
Thanks in advance.
