Zitat von "ryecoaaron"The ASRock FM2A85X-ITX FM2 AMD A85X has 7 6GB/s sata ports and is mini-itx.
That is the board I'm most interested in. But if support for setting low power cpu state is experimental or not working, then I would need to go Intel.That is the reason I am running these tests on my HTPC hardware (AMD A10-5700 and ASUS A85X uATX board) before committing to purchasing parts. But I need to get this done soon because I have 4 3TB disks waiting for data and zero storage available in my main rig. I have tested Windows Storage Server 2012 and it gives me ~25w idle vs. ~50w with Nas4Free and >45w with OMV. It obviously does not have ZFS but does have deduplication. Also, I still need to read on the Storage Spaces pros and cons.
I would still prefer a non-Windows solution.
