freebsd stable - Aug 2017 - recommendations for file server based zfs appliance

Hi all,

I am planning to use zfs appliance for backup purposes, do you have
reccomenations for small box with 4-16 gb ram ecc, and 4 hard drives
sas/sata.

Thanks in advance,
Sami

The HP micro servers work very well, and you can pick them up remakably 
cheaply if you look. I have six of these in various laces, all running 
ZFS and FreeBSD to perform various funcytions. Not sure about ECC memory 
support there though. Also theres only one expansion slot, which we ut 
10 gig cards into (low profile). They all used to come with ull iLo 
support too, though I understand the most recent model drops this.

-pete.

Take a look at iXsystems, they have a nice FreeNAS-Mini.
