I own this and it's worth it's weight in gold https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/A2SDi-H-T...

Yes. It's pricey but it's never been a problem. It can connect like 12 HDDs with 256GB ram and has 10GBe and runs at a tiny TDP. Has IPMI. Fits in a tiny case.

The only issue I had with this motherboard was that it was difficult to find someone who sold it. Love it

Also I don't see the built-in UPS. The external drives still use external power
