You most likely want to have a look at an ARM-based solution, anything using IPQ SoCs should do fine for instance.

Many hardware vendors supports FreeBSD, I don't think anyone running ZFS would advice you to use Linux but oh well... There's a recent presentation about how gandi.net uses FreeBSD and their infrastructure and why they choose that OS. BSDCan2016: FreeBSD based high density filers Napp-it is also...

You probably want Solaris and/or FreeBSD for this but oh well ;-)

I'd avoid the Evo at all costs but oh well ;-)

Do a factory reset?

Marvell controller, preferably MLC instead of TLC memory. Proven and reliable combination. Crucial MX200, Plextor SSDs also comes to mind if you're on a budget.

At least in .eu they have quite a bit more powerful hardware at the same price as Asustor. Keep in mind that if you're going to mix HDDs sizes you can pretty much forget about redundancy in a sane manner at least.

I'd say that you should also checkout Asustor, avoid the J-series by Synology and drop Drobo.

Juniper had a really good tutorial but it got closed down :-/ //Danne

Not really unless you want faster wifi.

Well, I do know that the SiL3114 are plauged with data corruption even on smaller HDDs if you use more than one channel at a time (that's a very nice design bug) . The SiL3124s aren't much better, also... it's going to be really slow and PCI isn't going to help. I'm recommending PCIe because no...

It's hackable but it's not a good idea in the long run.... Asustor (better bang for the but than Synology and QNAP in most cases) supports NTFS out of the box from what Google tells but I would recommend you switching to a native filesystem. FreeNAS has the same "issue".

Google ?

MX300 is probably the best one in the long run, Marvell controller and Micron flash.

Slower than the Fitlets (they are slightly more expensive) however you'll be more than fine with a MIPS or ARM box which most likely will perform better. Not to forget, warranty is a concern if you order overseas.
