I'm not seeing any current Atom CPUs that support ECC. However, by using Marvell's product selector I found some of their "discovery" series embedded processors support it. Ideally, you'd want to find an embedded board of some usable form factor that includes one of those CPUs while still providing

As long as you don't plan on using dedupe and the caching and non-ECC RAM issues can be sorted, NexentaCore might be more suitable for a project of this size -- but definitely with AMD Geode, Intel Atom, or other comparable low power x86 hardware. However, I'm not sure what the minimal system requi

I use the Alix boards http://www.pcengines.ch/alix3d3.htm [available stateside from netgate.com] for projects like this. AMD Geode CPU, common VGA/USB keyboard input, i386 versions of most OSes work, although I haven't tried any variation of OI/Solaris on it. Sometimes you just want some hard

It's generally accepted that two things can break a ZFS pool: the use of non-ECC RAM; and storage devices which do not respect cache flushes. You're aiming for a system which is likely to have both. The latter by virtue of the fact that most USB <=> SATA controllers often don't respect sync request
