He mentions the coming FreeNAS updated contains optimizations for SSD performance. Will it also include the direct-attached function to make it "like a jelly fish"? This is actually exactly how I'm using my freeNAS system right now. I have my FreeNAS box and PC connected to each other over Fiber and static IPs on the NICs to make them see each other. I would love to be able to plug straight in for some of my clients instead of hard-coding IP addresses.
