I see you fixed it. Cool.
While you are at it, your Wolfsville Intel SSD's have got the wrong capacities listed in the main body. (I was looking at the 480GB and 600GB ones.)
Suggestion: Can you add links to the official intel ARK page for them? Having the full official tech spec is really...
Just to be really fussy, but you seem to have fallen afoul to the cut-n-paste gremlin.
Both are listed as having the same Read and Write speeds in the summary.

I have 2x4GB Kingston Value ECC as well. Works great.
I have no idea about 16GB kits, but I believe there is an unofficial compatibility list somewhere.

I use Ubuntu Server and it is great. Rock solid. Perhaps I should give one of the other distros a try for desktop usage sometime.
Clearly Ubuntu Desktop has gone out of favour.
I didn't have much luck either. I tried 12.04 because it is the Long Term Support version which I thought would be more stable. I got a crash within 10 minutes of use. Then loads of little things didn't work either. I updated and patched and installed new drivers and got it mostly working great...
It depends upon if you want any of the new features. Do you want USB3, dual network or more CPU speed? It does look like the N54L and earlier might have the advantage when it comes to how many HDD's you can squeeze in, but that's just a guess.
Perhaps go for something other than Freenas which...
Officially they support 8GB max, but some people have had no issues with 16GB. I personally went with 8GB ECC. Not too expensive, a good amount and nice and reliable.

For those looking to buy one of these, I see the N54L is available at £280 but now with £100 cash-back! Best price so far (I think) for the latest model.
Windows Home Server has been discontinued, but it is well loved. It is a great option for many people as it can cope well with everything from file shares, to game servers. I don't know if some game servers might dislike WHS but 2011 is Win7 based so you should be good.
I think the key is going to be if you want to run game servers on it. I would suggest you think about Windows 8. I know not everybody's favourite, but it runs great on a microserver as it is Microsoft's leanest and meanest OS for a while.

I think it is safe to say that only a few people are going to have a use for 6 SSD sized drives, but I'm sure someone does. I bet the PSU would struggle etc, but still interesting.
