He has had great luck with his boxes, me, not so much. I actually had

I'd recommend getting a very clear promise from your whitebox vendor
that they will *fully* support your OS choice. I think PogoLinux
officially supports OpenSolaris:

I just purchased some 2.5" Supermicro Hardware with LSI SAS
controllers, 10 10K SAS drives and an Intel X25-E SSD for ZIL. I'm
anxious to get this hardware as I plan on doing a lot of Comstar
testing.
Once I get everything built, I'd appreciate any advice that can be
offered for tuning...
