Many thanks Bob and Josh. Both, they seems a perfect replacement for 
microserver gen8. But what about the noise?? I will use it as a home NAS :))

Hi all,

compact, etc.

  Exists?

  Many thanks.



My last configuration for a smaller nas used this case:

The Xeon-D version at

has a lot more capability than the Atom-based model.


If you are willing to have one boot drive, then you could use the M.2 
slot to add a M.2-based SSD for excellent performance and retaining 
four drive slots for server disks.


It also says that it has 2x 2.5" internal drive bays so you could have 
SATA 6 drives in all, plus the M.2-based SSD.

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] An alternative to HP Microserver Gen8?

[Josh Coombs]

I've just started looking into this myself.  Seems the common alternatives
are the Dell T20 (on cybermonday blow out this week) and Lenovo T130.  Both
have support for ECC RAM and four 3.5" drives, but not via externally
accessible bays like the HP unfortunately.

IX Systems has the FreeNAS Mini which looks slick, but doesn't have an
appealing price tag.  (Got this suggestion from the #illumos channel.)

Supermicro has
https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/midtower/5028/SYS-5028A-TN4.cfm
which looks to have potential as a direct competitor to the microserver,
utilizing the mobo Lauri mentioned.  Supermicro has a bunch of builds based
around that chassis depending on how much grunt you want, all SATA based
though.

I use this with a small mini-ITX case that fits six 3.5" disks:
