I=92m trying to put together a backup server=85 and thus I=92m looking = for recommendations on the best-fit board I can find right now. It=92s = going to spend it=92s life inside a fireproof safe doing zfs receive, = and basically nothing more. It should have: - lowest possible power; I=92m aiming for 10W (for the board) if possible - inexpensive - single sata port, any speed (working on freebsd; supports > 2T = drives). Two ports would be a bonus, but is far from required - ~1G ram - wired network - don=92t care about zfs root (it will boot from some flash/usb/nanobsd = image) - zfs needs to work=85=20 I=92m new to freebsd/arm, and not familiar with the current state-of-affa= irs. I=92m certainly able/willing to run -current on this device, if = that helps. It looks like a minnowboard max would fit, but it=92s at the top end of = my price and power budget.=20 Anyone have comments on these? Banana pi? (Is sata supported on the A20, on this board yet?) cubox i2ex or hummingboard i1ex? Or other suggestions? Thanks! Jim
