Hi all,
I'm looking for an inexpensive deal on a new mobo & CPU. It's mainly for me to test, recover, & diagnose drives, but if there's only a few dollars difference to gain a better system, I can do that. The issue I'm having is incorrect/no drive detection using external bays.
Thanks for any suggestions!

You buy buy PCI-e M.2 addin cards that are as reliable if that helps. I'm assuming you're currently using USB which can be flaky.
Doesn't "have to" be new, but my reasoning is that it can start out as a test bed and then actually use it myself perhaps, down the road.
PLE has a $199 special right now but after reviewing (& though it's got good reviews) the B350 line is a lot better specced for only a bit more $$.
OMG, I do this all the time— it's h*ll trying to balance outlay against possible usage.
Thank you for your help- appreciated. :)
b450 out next month
Has to be new? Maybe try ASUS H110M-A/M.2 ($75 dollars) + Kaby Lake Pentium G3930 CPU ($49 dollars)
This chinese seller is selling G3930's for $40.85, which is about $9 less than buying local.
