I was wondering if anyone could recommend hardware
forr a ZFS-based NAS for home use.
setup, so I'm looking at sparc or opteron. Ideally it
would:
a) run quiet (blade 100/150 is ok, x4100 ain't :) )
Not much space in a Blade 100/150 for multiple disks, but it is quiet and cheap.
For NAS
Saturating 100Mbit with a 64-bit CPU and redundant disks for $300-400 Pounds
may be tough.
Anything in the market can saturate 100Mbit easily; even with a single
cheap IDE disk. The disks are generally a factor 5-10 faster than the
100Mbit network.
