    Why I love ZFS and Napp-It

    Just a note to the reliability and survivability of ZFS and the great tool Napp-It that sits on top. TL;DR... ZFS was recoverable even after 7 out of 16 drives had been kicked out of my array due to overheating. In my garage at home I have several servers and disk shelves and other gear...

    SuperComputing 2016

    Thought I'd start a thread to see if any STH'ers are going to be at SuperComputing 2016 in Salt Lake City, UT. I haven't been to an SC show in a long time and looking forward to revisiting the expo. Anyone know of things to not miss while there, both the show and SLC?

    A case like the Silverstone DS380 but MicroATX?

    I have built a decent ESX/ZFS-Napp-it box with the Silverstone DS380 and I like the case. A MicroATX case with 8+ SATA/SAS hot swap bays would give a lot of flexibility for adding HBA's and 10G Enet. Anyone seen something like this for a decent price...like $200 or less? Even a nice looking...
