For a file server-only oriented board look no further than X10SDV-2C-7TP4F. I wish I’d bought it instead of the version I have now.
Very low power, 22 SATA ports (of which 2 are SATADOM), etc. You’re really unlikely to outgrow it as a file server.
My system
Modified Lian Li A76 case with SuperMicro X10SDV-7TP4F with 128GB of ECC RAM and a Z3 pool consisting of eight HGST 10TB HE10 drives, three 1.6TB S3610 Intel SSDs for the sVDEV, mirrored 64GB SuperMicro SATADOM boot drives, a 1TB Samsung 860-series mSATA L2ARC, and a Intel P4801x Optane SLOG, onboard SFP+ with MM fiber, riding the TrueNAS CORE 13.x stable train @ 106 W/hr.
