I looked at a HP N54L today: Costs nothing, but actually handles ECC memory. Albeit very slow memory, and not very much.

So, would it be reasonable to set this guy up with 4 2TB SATA disks, 8GB 800MHz ECC memory and run some Illumos based version with ZFS.

I was thinking of putting two 2.5" small boot disks (300GB???) using some adapter in the optical drive slot, and 4 2TB disks in a raidz to provide 6TB of storage with medium availability performance.

Would this work?? Would the performance be good enough to be a home cloud server for media and/or documents?

Is Nexenta or OmniOS or SMARTOS better or easier to deply than OpenIndiana for this setup?
