I have six of these in various laces, all running ZFS and FreeBSD to perform various funcytions. Not sure about ECC memory support there though. Also theres only one expansion slot, which we ut 10 gig cards into (low profile). They all used to come with ull iLo support too, though I understand the most recent model drops this. -pete.
