    hi,

    it's about a year since i got in touch with illumos/solaris and zfs for
    the first time. i absolutely don't want to miss it anymore, especially
    zfs. omniti/dan and the whole illumos community are doing a great job.
    thank you!

    of course i'd like to have an omnios server at home, too. nothing fancy,
    basically just for data storage (nfs and smb sharing) and 1-2 linux kvms
    for multimedia services and auxiliary stuff. since i don't have a
    dedicated room where noise does not matter i have to consider quiet
    "workstation hardware" instead of noisy "server hardware".

    here is the hardware setup i am planning to go with:
    - HP Z230 (WM583EA#UUZ) which is basically
      -> Intel PCH C226 chipset
      -> E3-1225v3 quad core XEON
      -> Intel I217LM PCIe Gigabit-Controller

    - 4x 8 GB ECC RAM (HP A2Z50AA)
    - 1x 1 TB WD Re, S-ATA III (512n) as rpool
    - 2x 4 TB WD Re, S-ATA III (512n) as a data mirror

    what do you think about this hardware setup? any no-gos?

    thanks
    dominik
