Hello,
    I am about to buy a mITX board to build a SOHO, ZFS-based NAS (RAID-Z). My 
board of choice is the Intel DG45FC [1], mainly because it has 4 SATA ports and 
Intel gigabit NIC.

My only concern is the ICH10R SATA RAID controller. I've read that ZFS likes 
full access to the disks, and that built-in RAID systems (even if disabled) may 
lead to poor performances or, worst, errors.

This said, my questions are:

    1) does anyone have any experience with this board (or at least wit the 
ICH10R SATA controller) and ZFS? If not, based on the current status of the 
FreeBSD kernel, should I expect issues?

    2) do you have experiences with other mITX boards that are known to work 
well in terms of ZFS?

Thanks in advance. Cheerio,
-Fede
