Open-source rackmount NAS from $1,995 - current-generation CPUs, IT-mode HBAs, and a ZFS-first configurator with RAIDZ2 by default
FREMONT, Calif. - Californer -- eRacks Systems today announced a top-to-bottom refresh of its rackmount NAS line, from the compact NAS12 to the petabyte-class NAS100. The update brings current-generation processors, larger conventional-recording drives, and a configurator purpose-built for ZFS - all available now.
Current-Generation CPUs, Specified Simply
Every NAS now configures from a single CPU platform selector featuring Intel Xeon 6 - both Granite Rapids (P-core) and Sierra Forest (E-core) - alongside AMD EPYC, with Ryzen and Threadripper available for workstation-class builds. Each platform is presented in a Good/Better/Best tier so buyers can match core count to workload without sorting through dozens of part numbers, and each platform's price reflects its real underlying cost.

CMR Drives Up to 30TB - No SMR
ZFS and shingled (SMR) drives are a poor match: SMR's rewrite behavior can turn a routine resilver into a multi-day event. The refreshed line is conventional-recording only, defaulting to the 30TB Seagate IronWolf Pro - the current sweet spot on cost per terabyte in NAS-class CMR - with options spanning a few terabytes up to a 32TB ceiling. No shingled drives enter a configuration.
Built for ZFS
Because hardware RAID controllers and ZFS work against each other, every NAS offers an IT-mode HBA so ZFS addresses each disk directly, plus DDR5 ECC memory and a pool selector that now includes ZFS alongside traditional RAID levels. eRacks recommends RAIDZ2 (double parity) as a safe default, striped mirrors for maximum IOPS, and RAIDZ3 for wide or archival arrays. Each system ships pre-provisioned with TrueNAS SCALE, Proxmox VE, Ubuntu, or Ceph - burned-in and tested - with no vendor OS licensing fees.
