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.
Last I saw on broadwell it was mainly just a die shrink, so I would expect same 4 core limit, and quite possibly same PCI-E lane limit. If your looking for 6-8 cores and more PCI-E lanes i think your going to want to look into Haswell-E on the X99 chipset (6-8 cores, Socket 2011-3, DDR4).
My Ivy (3470k) stops at about 4.4ghz (1.35v) , so either way I figure it will be an upgrade, just not sure the difference would be worth $700 Canadian (cpu and motherboard)

despite the lack of replies, for those reading this it worked perfectly. The only slight change I would make to the guide is that you don't have to make a disk image out of your sparse file zfs works just fine if you point to the sparse file directly. ex zpool create tank raidz2 drive1 drive2...
I just setup something very similar on ZFS 6x3TB in a raid-z2 setup and I couldn't be happier. Performance is outstanding Bonnie++ reports 630+MB/s Read and 320+MB/s Write and my machine is just pieced together from 2-3yr old hardware lying around (minus the drives).

Had the same issue with 2xm4's and the latest firmware. Could have sworn both drives were completely bricked (not reporting in bios, tried multiple pcs same thing) came back a few hours later after leaving pc on and in the bios and they worked fine. Happened again a few days later and same thing...
Hello Ive been using ZFS for a few months now but just 2x3tb drives as a mirror so a relatively simple setup. Due to all the black friday sales I recently purchased 4 additional 3tb drives so Im looking to expand my storage. Ive been looking over the various options and I am strongly leaning...
