There are much better options for a server. This is designed for overclocking, whereas servers tend to benefit much more from efficiency and stability.

If you really want an overclocked server for some reason, there are m.2 cards that offer lots of SATA ports that you could install

Is this a good deal? I need more than 2 sata ports that this has. Would a pcie card be useful ? For a server.

Depends on what you want the server to do. If just drives, then you can get a pcie sata card, anywhere from 2-24 ports. But this motherboard is probably overkill for a basic server.

Look into an HBA card. I picked up a 9300 i8 for like $50 and that adds the ability to have 8 more SATA connectors.

Been a few weeks now since Christmas. With the saga Gigabyte made for the Z690I I hope they fixed things this time around. Specs does look amazing though. Watch out those thick VRM/M.2 covers, the screw down point is closer to the rare I/O meaning in some low cooler heigh cases (Meshlicious in 4-lot mode, A4-H2O and many other sandwich style cases), once it's installed you probably can't reach to unscrew it to add/replace M.2 drives.

Alternatively, Asus ROG Z690-I is $185, but that board has its own issue as well, namely piss poor cooler compatibility (probably why you ever will see a ROG board this cheap) and lately Asus support has been a joke.

Seems like a good deal but that shipping time sucks!
I don't have the patience to wait that long for one component
but if you do then this is a good deal on an itx board.

For servers, you want a motherboard that supports ECC Ram. I'm 98% sure this doesn't support ECC because usually you have to get a motherboard dedicated for server or workstation use that supports ECC Ram.

I know ECC is important but I've never had that in the past. I ultimately decided to get the ASRock lightning z790. Has 6 satas and supports my 48gb memory modules
