I was wondering if anyone could recommend hardware forr a ZFS-based NAS for home use.
The 'zfs on 32-bit' thread has scared me of a mini-itx fanless setup, so I'm looking at sparc or opteron. Ideally it would: a) run quiet (blade 100/150 is ok, x4100 ain't :) ) b) take advantage of cheap disks ( ide/sata, unless scsi suddenly got affordable) c) come in around the 300-400 pounds mark Don't need massive storage, it just needs to be reliable and reasonably fast - I was thinking of maybe a 2-way 100Gb mirror set. Graphics are a complete non-issue. It only needs to saturate 100mbit (I'm not planning to use it for anything else, so CPU isn't important). Any used sun systems fit the bill, or should I be thinking of rolling my own opteron?
