Regarding the SATA card and the mainboard slots, make sure that whatever you get is compatible with the OS. In my case I chose OpenSolaris which lacks support for Promise SATA cards. As a result, my choices were very limited since I had chosen a Chenbro ES34069 case and Intel Little Falls 2 mainboard. Basically I had to go with the SYBA Sil3124 card and a flexible PCI adapter.

No ECC memory, but I don't mind because the case has a great form factor and hot swappable drive bays. If I could find a low power board that supported ECC and OpenSolaris, I'd consider switching. Good luck. n _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
