um, it does have better hardware.

There is absolutely no better use of Ebay than this situation. 9260's with a BBU can be found for $150 easily.

I believe as of 9.3 UFS not even an option anymore. FreeNAS probably isn't the best solution if this is the hardware you need to use.

FreeNAS is ZFS only moving forward. DO NOT use a RAID controller with ZFS. I also very highly recommend at least 8GB of RAM.

can the SF-2282 die already?

Why are you moving away from FreeNAS? Save money and get one 200GB DC3700. It will provide higher performance and the loss of an SLOG with a ZIL will no longer destory the pool on modern ZFS.

Well you could get a card that isn't using that crappy GTX 460 heatsink...

The SoC in the 6 is markedly better mobile SoC than anything offered in an android.

absolutely.

Freenas just added experimental support for FC. http://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/so-you-want-to-test-fc-target-mode.21568/

Excited to see these used as an SLOG for the ZIL.

what controller is it hooked up to?

Yeah this isnt exactly true.. Intel actively markets their 730 drives to use in a RAID-0. Tests dont show a huge increase in OS related benchmarks but they certainly don't get worse.

then save advice except with SFF-8088 connectors, ala the 9207-8e.

It is just internal , correct? Any LSI SAS2008 based HBA running in IT mode. An LSI SAS 9211-8i , an IBM M1015 flashed to IT mode.. numerous others. M1015's can had for about $100 off ebay but i do believe there have been some cheap knock-offs. If you are going to pay full retail you might as...
