Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Like you I wanted to get away from WHS. I was very interested in going ZFS because of the great reviews but was intimidated and didn't want to learn all the line code. while searching the forum I came across this thread:

You guys are making me more indecisive than my wife. I'm going to pony up the cash and get the EADS. I've dealt with Western Digital on RMA's and they are great.
So the new array will be raid-z2 with 8x WD 2TB Green drives, the 1.5 seagates I have currently will be used for storage in a safe.
Not sure what you meant here:
The EADS is 129
The Seagate is 99 after coupon code
If the Seagate works with ZFS then hard to pass on the price even though it's a little less efficient than the EADS
How about These, They are on sale as of now
Seagate Barracuda LP ST32000542AS 2TB 5900 RPM 32MB

Wow that is one hell of a reply and appreciate every word!
1) I'll just use it as a stand alone, you don't sound too confident in running a VB thru windows. This is really no big deal. My top priority is my data.
2) I'm starting to piece this together and came up with my own SOLUTION: Cancel...
Thanks for the reply!
Just put the order in so here is the final build:
- Intel Core i3-530 CPU
- Supermicro MBD-X8SIL-F-O Intel 3420mATX Motherboard
- 2x Kingston 2 x 2GB ECC Unbuffered DDR3 1333 RAM (8Gigs total)
- CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-650HX 650W 52A on 12 rail
- Norco 4220
-...
Well I'm thinking of starting from scratch with motherboard, ram, and CPU. The reason being is can just use my old gigabyte setup as a HTPC. I would like to do this right.
So as of now the only thing I have is the Norco 4220 and 650w PSU
What motherboard? supermicro?
CPU?
ECC ram?
still...
On my gigabyte motherboard I have the following PCI slots:
1x PCI Express 2.0x16
3x PCI Express x1
3x PCI
I'm a little confused on if this board will hold 2x USAS-L8i and is there any limitations?
Thanks for the quick reply sub.mesa! I've been looking over the installation of freeBSD on your site and it is very overwhelming, good but overwhelming. I'm not sure if I feel comfortable taking that leap... I will continue to read and re-read
