Started back in 1977, as System Engineer.
Spent 20yrs in industry and now 20yrs in Higher Ed.
I'm always working on a "NEW" project!
I am quite familiar with SAN/NAS.
Getting ready for a new phase of existence - RETIREMENT
Dose not mean I stop working, just figure it is going to be another 20yr project ;->
I can likely answer a few, but I am always open to NOT re-inventing the wheel.
My new project is building "affordable" micro-Cloud systems for the small/micro business environment.
FreeNAS has been around the block too, and I like that!
Look forward to becoming part of the community.

Welcome to the forums! Good luck with your project :)
Hi m0nkey,
Thanks for the links, been through many of them already.
I've been a SuperMicro fan for a long while.
Looking at either the: X11SSH-F, or X11SSH-CTF, motherboards.
Any recommendations?
I've seen several configs using the X11SSH-F, which makes me curious why I have not seen the X11SSH-CTF/TF.
Basic difference is the CTF has dual 10gbe, and on board LSI 3008, with only sacrificing a x4 lane PCI-e for a X2.
I have seen one reference to the CTF/TF, but no builds.

You should read this post by @Ericloewe. Doubt you'll find a better breakdown anywhere:
