New Supermicro NAS Superserver

[GrumpyBear]

The SuperMicro A1SRi-2758F based on the Atom C2758 has been out for a while but they have now paired it with a new ITX case that looks interesting. It has 4 hot swap bays and a space for 2 2.5" disks inside and a 250w power supply. If it supported 6 3.5" disks it would be a sick little machine for running FreeNAS. A little pricey but for a turnkey solution from a solid vendor this could be interesting.

An FreeNAS mini isn't far off the price of this barebone.

Also 6-8disk FreeNAS Minis are definitely planned, but Jordan didn't deem a case good enough yet. DS380, uNAS, the lot - not well-made enough to be sold as a FreeNAS Midi.

HP's already got the 4-drive market locked up for several years with the MicroServers.
