We are having to do this build DIY, we have talked to iXsystems and 45 Drives and other NAS systems. The main issue is cost at two or three times the budget. The NAS side has tech limitations like Max pool sizes ect. Please let me know what you think about the below config. We are also going to add a 2nd system in Q2 that will be identical to replicate to off-site. I am fairly new to ZFS and FreeNAS ( I do have an 8 bay T630 at home for the last 3 months and love it).
