10gbe will work fine on x58. What issue do you have?

 

ECC on freenas isn't different compared to any other os. You don't need ecc any more because of freenas.

 

A 2680 won't work on that board, you need a v3 or v4 xeon e5

try a live disk of linux, could be a freebsd issues and linux will work fine.

Just try a linux live disk. You can linux to be on the host for this test. A vm won't have access to the hardware.

 

Does the nic show up the freenas?

Just give the live disk a try. You can easily switch to linux here and still use zfs. These systems work fine with 10gbe.

 

Also run pciconf -l. If you see the drive is a software problem.

 

Otherwise you need a new xeon or board.
