Marc,

you NUC seems to be Haswell-based and I am glad to hear that there
are no problems with SmartOS. 

My main concern is that a new CPU generation like Broadwell might need
some specific support code inside the kernel, and I am unsure if the
current SmartOS kernel does support this.

Same concern applies to M.2 PCIe SSDs like XP941. I assume that
they also might need specific kernel support. Especially for the new
NUCs that support one M.2 and a regular HDD it would be very interesting
to be able to use the M.2 as log and/or cache device for a 2 TB
2.5“ HDD.

You are right that these NUC would PXE-boot to be a compute node.
