I would like to know if the Terramaster T[x]-423/450 is a cost-effective near-turnkey TruNAS solution for the home? My thinking is to supply 64 GB ECC RAM in the T6. T9 -- the T12-450 could have128 GB ( up to ECC 256 GB RAM based on processors). It's the hardware that seems to be a value. The size hard drives are not very important to me. For example, a 9-bay configured in 2 RAIDz and one hot-spare should be quite a nice reliable configuration. The T12-450 with 2 RAIDZ2 and 128GB (< $2K without drives) may be a better performer but at that price there may be better trades one can make. These Terramaster NASs may provide good data integrity with ECC RAM, etc. BYW, CraftComputing claimed he could not get TruNAS to boot withoout manually going into the BIOS? Seems you were able to do this ...
