This point in their description seems to confirm that: + DSS Lite That's a Linux based commercial NAS system that you install or plug into standard servers to turn them into a NAS. See http://www.open-e.com/ So, IMHO, yes, you should be able to replace that DSS stuff with either stock FreeBSD or preferrably FreeNAS to turn one of these boxes into a ZFS based NAS. I'll check with the supplier before ordering, nonetheless. Best regards, Patrick M.
