Hi Dan,

currently we are using an Intel s1200kp

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/server-motherboards/server-board-s1200kp.html

with 8-16GB of Ram.

Performance is with 2x2TB mirror 80-85mb/sec write and 100+mb/sec read.

All the thinks you ask for are supported like WOL and stuff.

cheers
patrick
