Which motherboard has the maximum number of SATA connectors?

I know the title is very inaccurate.
I know that most of all in server rooms.
Needed: Specific models of motherboards with the maximum number of SATA ports in the categories:
- Old motherboards on s775
- Old motherboards on s771
- Actual inexpensive ones on s1151 / s1155
- Old server ones (most likely those on Ali with used servers)
Why?: In continuation of this topic: How and with what is it cheaper to connect a lot of HDDs to a computer?
// Decided to figure it out from the other side: If you immediately take the motherboard for a home server.
Objectives:
- To understand what is better (and cheaper): Regular motherboard + 2-3 SATA tees or a server board with 16 ports + the ability to add a board with a raid controller.
- Make a list of specific models in socket categories so that you can pick up what is offline at flea markets :)

On household continents, there are usually 6, maximum 8 sata ports. If you need more ports - buy an HBA / RAID controller

10 hdd - 10 points of failure. Especially if they are old (and a 180G disk cannot be new). Especially if in a raid. I wouldn't call it too smart idea, sorry :)
