OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.

My biggest concern there is the 6 bay limitation. Looking at Nexenta If you want something close to the Community Edition licensed max of 18TB you would need most of those bays for zpool. For better performance though wouldn't you want at least one L2ARC? I'm guessing at least one for ZIL? If there was an expansion chassis available for the Pro it would make it much easier though I'm not clear if it is unwise to use expanders or port multipliers.
To be safe my Nexenta box is starting with 16 internal drive bays with an option for 20 more. :D
