service announcement: truenas will release a new version of their storage system based on linux tomorrow. i have set up a new nas for my homelab using their release candidates over the last few weeks, using a hp proliant dl380 with 2 12core-xeons and 128gb ecc ram, it is now packed with hdd and ssd to the brim, and it is working well. being linux based, it now supports virtual machines running on kvm, and docker and whatnot, so it is very flexible once you wrap your head around zfs. i basically built a server that now houses 18 storage drives, has tons of ram, cpu and dual 10/40gbe uplinks at a fraction of the cost of a similarly specced synology system. yay!
