I cannot sustain this kind of lifestyle anymore ;-)

Come on, let's get an E7. ;)

Supports up to 6TB DDR3 ECC Registered memory...

At least nobody would tell me that my system is short on RAM :)

You need a minimum of 8TB RAM to run FreeNAS v25.

Still won't have the block pointer rewrite.

You can buy one of those from iXsystems as a FreeNAS certified system. It won't be the first one we've shipped by far. :)

This seems old technology, doesn't seem to support MicroPOD optical transceivers.

It also doesn't support duotronic, positronic, or isolinear chips. :(

It also doesn't support duotronic, positronic, or isolinear chips. :(

That's because you need a Scotty certified FreeNAS build !

Wimps! It doesn't support Tachyonband for disk connectivity? tsk tsk.

I'm running the Supermicro MBD-A1SAM-2550F-O for my simplistic 3x3raidz, and a 4tb for a backup (WD Red's, reduced power), and a Samsung 850 pro (single drive zil? how dare I!). I also have a dual port 10gbe for connection to my VM server, and 2 of the onboard GBE's in an LACP. At idle, it's using 51w (FreeBSD 10.1 with powerd running, not that I'm sure if that matters...) with 8gb of ram had sitting around. It replaced my AMD 4100, which I then in turn installed Hyper-V on to re-purpose as my actual VM server. I've been quite happy with the overall setup. Sure, the ARC is nice... but for the 5 VM's (2x server 2012, 2x ubu 14, 1x Win10) I'm running, after boot, the arc was sitting at roughly 75% hit ratio.
