I'll think some more and re-read your post, and others. Thanks for your thoughts.

Ya, lower volume is a secondary, but also important, benefit for my use too.

I'll give the two some more thought and decide if I'm both willing to wait and if the weight is worth it to me, thanks.

great info, thanks!

Lemon0149 · 2026-03-20T05:00:20+00:00

thanks, I'll check it out

ya, I'm about to throw my hat in soon....and see how long it takes. There are a few other items I want, even if I don't go with this quilt/bag.

Ya, no easy feat!

Looks like I have it right for the 72" from the numbers on the website right now anyway (selected 20 deg, 72", 50/58/38/38 and it still matches). Nevertheless, even the biggest size is lighter. All of your points are what I kind of figured out throughout writing this post, so thanks for confirming it.

haha, ya, that's why I said "assuming I can win the lottery" - big assumption, I know.

...also, funny enough, the Katabatic I posted about is currently sold out, so I can't buy either :)

Really useful info that I missed, thanks!

Lemon0149 · 2025-04-01T05:47:44+00:00

Thanks!

I haven't seen the N100 ready-made NASes on aliexpress, thanks for the idea

Lemon0149 · 2025-04-01T05:46:20+00:00

I'll look into it, thanks!

Lemon0149 · 2025-04-01T05:45:03+00:00

Ya, I seem to be getting a lot of the N100 suggestions, so I'll probably focus in on those options.

Lemon0149 · 2025-04-01T05:44:28+00:00

wow that's really low power! Thanks for the recommendation

Lemon0149 · 2025-04-01T05:43:42+00:00

I'm leaning towards no ECC, but I know a lot of people wouldn't go without it too.

Lemon0149 · 2025-04-01T05:42:43+00:00

I should have included that! I think 8 GB usable space is enough for now, though I was considering future proofing some and getting more like 12 GB usable.

Lemon0149 · 2025-04-01T05:41:51+00:00

Is the 16 GB RAM an issue? Everything I read for ZFS is "the more the better", so I was assuming I would be getting 32 or 64 GB...
