Ultimate server / Workstation mobo? Asrock X99 Extreme 11!

[xLendary]

This mobo got me wondering, packs alot of specs :
18 SATA ports (10 are SATA3 ports from the Intel X99 Express chipset, 8 are SAS ports stemming from the LSI SAS 3008 controller) and five PCI-E 3.0 x 16slots for 4-way graphics cards! 600$ motherboard for some serious business, I think this would be ideal for a video editing workstation..

This would be awesome in my PC-D8000.

My wife wouldn't be as enthusiastic about a ~$600 motherboard as I would be, or the several grand in components that I'd want to fill it with...

I can think of a use case for this. Get a bootable M.2, and 18 850 pro SSDs in RAID 10. You will then get massive read/write speeds, and incredibly high IOPS 😀
Awesome stuff!
