    End of Year NAS Build

    Thanks. I think I am going to make my New Year's Resolution to be to look more at the used enterprise equipment. I always get intimidated about the different vendors and models and such.

    End of Year NAS Build

    I didn't think about that. Does the 905P work with AMD? I was a little confused on that. Looking around would the Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 250GB work better as it is PCI Express 4.0, while I think most of the non-DCPMMs Intel's are PCI Express 3.0? But thanks either way. I hadn't...

    ASUS P9A-I/C2550/SAS/4L

    I have been waiting to pull the trigger on this board. Does it seem like it would work for ZFS on Linux without virtualization? I need to build a machine soon and I agree (or maybe just home) that support will come in the next month or two for virtualized support. (Sorry if I miss read a post...
