Because most are crap quality and prone to failure.
Using this you won't need any install media you just mount the image file and install to the destination drive. Trust me, take the time to learn your IPMI and you'll wonder how you ever got by without it.
Definitely good to know. I will probably just grab a Samsung SSD (like 128GB should be plenty right?) or whatever is a reliable brand these days.
So if I went that route, I would just plug it in and set it up and just IPMI to load FreeNAS on to the SSD? I need to learn how to do that for sure, because that seems way easier.
Thanks again everyone for all of the help. Once I get the components and start the build, I will keep everyone updated as it progresses. I was planning to start up a blog about my home projects, so this would probably be number one for me (it will be very Star Wars oriented...).
