FreeNAS Mini from iX Systems?

Does anyone have experience with the small commercial NAS that iX systems offers? I was once a fan of FreeNAS and like the idea of ZFS. The Mini seems only slightly more costly than some of the much less capable commercial NAS.

Tim, any plans on reviewing the commercial offering?

Just a note to say that I finally purchased a FreeNAS Mini loaded with 8 TB of disks. It's a very nice system, but a little complicated to get setup.

It's worth noting that our aged LaCie 5BIG Network drive took a weekend to backup it's contents. Restoring that same content to the Mini took only 4 hours.

FWIW, there was time over the past few months when iX Systems were not being offered on Amazon. They were in the process of moving to "fulfillment by Amazon." Now that this has been completed they are eligible for Amazon Prime.
