Hello.
I'm successfully using FreeNAS at home for already three years. Running racked DIY solution on Intel i5 T desktop CPU, rated TDP 45W, 32GB of ECC RAM and 4TB storage with 1gbps VLAN connection. Running mainly for personal storage, serving NFS, iSCSI and Samba clients for family and friends in my home/lab environment.
Despite it works really well, feeling I'm not utilizing all the CPU potential on it and thus wasting power, so starting to think about an upgrade.
Does anyone have working ARM solution to share? Not really sure what to start looking into...
Hardware cost is not an issue, 4U chassis has plenty of space inside.
Looking to end up with something like:
Thanks!

Looking to end up with something like:
- Decent, low power ARM CPU, coupled with enterprise grade mobo maybe
- 32/64GB of ECC RAM
- HBA/SAS to support 8-12 hot pluggable HHD's/SSD's
- 10 gbit connection
- 280GB Optane SSD
Thanks!
