Thanks for linking to that Ars article comparing the two NAS systems. I hadn't seen it and it's a good article. I just bought and set up a FreeNAS on ixSystems hardware. It was expensive but I don't regret it - the machine has tons of RAM and high bandwidth network cards and it runs at less than 35W, which is good enough for me. I'm still figuring out all the goodness of ZFS and the different plugins but despite my learning curve, it's at its heart a solid FreeBSD system I have full, root access to, and no worries that some crazy script is mining bitcoin on my hardware.

That review had quite an axe to grind against the new FreeNAS interface, among other things. Have you found it annoying or troublesome?

Their descriptions of difficulties in doing relatively simple things (AD/LDAP) had me thinking that the OpenMediaVault, mentioned in the commments, might be a better way to go. Only tradeoff might be going from ZFS to BTRFS.
