Comment on Is this a bad option for a home server?

But with Intel changing their socket every couple generations, you’re talking about a new motherboard too if you want to upgrade.

I don’t see that as a big downside. I’ve had hard drives wear out but memory, CPU, mobo and such can easily last 10 yrs. At that point simply trying to plug in a new CPU or RAM is leaving a lot of modern advancement on the table.
