Hey all,
The 1156 ITX Motherboard in my micro server died today and I need to replace it. I was thinking of going with an A8-7600 or A10-7800 so am looking for an FM2+ ITX Motherboard that works with ESXI 5.5, supports IOMMU and has 6 or more Sata ports. It's hard to find any recent hardware information for ESXI 5.5 but from what I have been able to find it seems the ASRock FM2A78M-ITX+ may fit the bill but I am still not sure.
Can anyone confirm this board works with ESXI and/or if the there is another more suitable/better board? I am not adverse to going intel again but I want to keep costs as low as possible and I only have 3 VM's so dont need a great deal of power though it is nice to have a little extra in case I want to add another VM at some point.
