We prefer turn key vendors so we can get good support contract= s etc=85 But I am skilled enough to build this on my own if there vastly be= tter case and board options going that path. 6 sata/sas 3.5in hotswap minimum(+ boot) 8 drives preferred (software raid.= ) 8x pcie 2.0 slot for Supermicro AOC-STGN-i2S (10gb ethernet controller) Planning on 6 or 8 4tb constellation drives Redundant Power supplies I=92m just looking for any experience anybody has with various hardware to = figure out what is both going to work with freebsd and also what is going t= o be reliable with a good life span.
