imacosiris Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hi guys At this moment i'm doing a rollback on my hackintosh from El Capitan to OS X 10.10.5 I found problems with network transfers and today with HDD transfers I use this hackintosh as Media Server with Plex (plex.tv, great app and free) i have a lot of media about 20 TB year 20TB, my current config Mother: GIGABYTE GA-EP43T-UD3L rev 1.01 last BIOS Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5 Ghz RAM: 16 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 Video ASUS AMD RADEON HD 6570 1GB I also have a PCI-e SATA card to connect 2 additional HDD In total i have 8 HDD on this computer (all internal) AS i say this mac is for media server and torrent download With the problems that i have i was thinking on 2 things Buy a new motherboard a processor (and use the current ram) Buy a 4TB HDD to "compress" and use less HDD Most of the Gigabyte Motherboards that i see have 6 SATA ports, but the question is which to buy I from Argentina and here the importation is like in Cuba today almost impossible so i'm limited to the motherboards in the market i have this options I know is in spanish and the price is not in U$S, i put this info for the motherboard specification http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-574900675-motherboard-pc-gigabyte-ga-z97x-ud3h-1150-usb-30-hdmi-71-_JM http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-573251779-mother-gigabyte-z97x-gaming-5-crossfire-sli-hdmi-dvi-1150-_JM http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-579530495-motherboard-gigabyte-ga-h97m-gaming-3-lga-1150-dual-bios-_JM I wonder if the Gigabyte Ga-h97m Gaming series is a good choice I don't care in play games or power saving options i need storage video Audio May be i need to wait a bit more to buy (when apple release a SP for El Capitan ), muy budget is limited i can't afford to make a bad choice and spend money in a mother than doesn't work. I don't like to use win or linux I really like your opinion guys, i'm pay right now a lot of money for a new house, so i can't spend a lot of money just for see. Well thanks a lot for your input and help Best regards !!
