I have been looking at storage systems like this one http://www.icc-usa.com/storage-35-2u.asp. I am guessing it would be a case of sorting the discs out, probably on some GUI or command line for the box it self, then using a FreeBSD box I can set up ZFS over the drives...or is it not that simple? Thanks Chris
