While you might be right about that, I think there is a need for a good
shared experiences site, howtos, etc.
For example, I want to put a new 2U 12 disk storage system together.  I'll
use a Supermicro chasis, but I wonder what is best for:

   - AMD or Intel?
   - Is the AOC-SAT2-MV8 still the best SATA controller or should I get a
   LSI card.
   - The AOC-USASLP-S8iR has battery back cache option.  Will this work with
   Solaris? Which release? Can it do JBOD? Will the battery back cache actually
   be useful?
   - Then of course there is all the SSD options. Which SSD units are better
   for write/ZIL, which is better for read/L2ARC?


All these questions are pretty general, and being asked often.  I think it
would be good to find some way to consolidate this stuff.
