Thanks, very nicely layouted.

The SSD -C version with 15 x Intel S3700 800 GB SSD is pretty crazy.   How
do you guys chop these up? Pair of RAIDZ2 with a hot spare? What do you do
with the spare slot 15 out of 16?

How about the 12 x UltraStar 7K4000? What raid layout do you use for those
nodes?

Couple of the chassis (-A,-C) seem to be direct attach. I assume this is
because of performance, particularly with the SSD node.
