I have a Helios64 NAS that I'm running a raidz pool of 5 3tb drives on with no issues. Full kit of board and enclosure was $295.

Overall I've been very happy with it. The only negative from a ZFS perspective is it doesn't have enough ram to support deduplication but that's not a big issue for my use case and otherwise I've been very happy with it.

What kernel are you on and what steps did you take to get ZFS running? I can't seem to get it up and running.

I’m using the latest 5.9 kernel on Debian buster. I had to compile from source and make a small patch to get the build working. Happy to share a gist. I wanted to use ads 2.0 but if you want something g mower friction use Ubuntu focal I think there are packages already in the distro

The helios64 looks so damn cool ... I'm currently running an aging HP Microsoerver which has served me well, but I think the Helios will be my next build.

ZFS dedupe is effectively broken and I wouldn’t recommend anyone use it unless you really know what you’re getting into.
