Re: [zfs-discuss] Hardware for high-end ZFS NAS file server - 2010 March edition

its not quiet by default but it can be made somewhat more quiet by swapping out the fans or going to larger fans. Its still totally worth it. I use smaller, silent htpc's for the actual media and connect to the norco over gigabit. My norco box is connected to the network with 2 link aggregated g
