Maybe I fill this bay with Samsung 840 EVO instead and stick with no moving parts. They wouldn't take so much writing anyway. I don't know. These or M500 even. I'm open to suggestions.These are so cute I will use them in this build for certain.

Alright let's go for a napp-it barebone setup and see what happens.I will probably find some time to get things started this week-end. Now I shall decide which OS to start with. I am looking at FreeBSD, CentOS, OmniOS, and probably Ubuntu Server as I can remember I reading something interesting about it (but can't really remember what).
yes it is. it's not installed yet.Is that an icy dock hot swap day?

How do you manage VMs in Omni OS? Passthrough for PCIE devices is pretty easy with KVM, but you may have to enable some IOMMU flags for it to work. May be OMni OS specific.I ended up playing with IPMI and setting up SOL this week-end. Nothing is really running yet. It's not a bad thing since it gave me the opportunity to think twice and I now want an USB the boot drive as suggested here.
napp-it // webbased ZFS NAS/SAN appliance for OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and Linux downloads
Actually, I might reconsider running OmniOS as an hypervisor and return to ESX for a Napp-in-One system (provided I can passthrough onboard disk controller) because the KVM based version of it is not really documented anywhere yet.
I don't have a clue. OmniOS isn't even configured yet. I'm totally new to it so I just started à thread in the Linux forum to see if anybody can help or at least confirm this is achievable.How do you manage VMs in Omni OS?
