Hello Hans,

Very interesting,

I have been considering building a FreeNas box for a while, and using
internal disks,

I even have a machine built with one 256GB SSD disk with a PSU with no fan,
IOW a silent PC.  I intended to use the Free Nas as my storage for another
room in the house.

Lots of options :)

thanks

Mark
