          Pretty sure that I just busted an iX sales drone on SW. Much like the FreeNAS documentation, he lacks plausible credibility. He spouts words but gets ALL the details wrong in his attempt to make a sale. He claims ZFS is better than RAID (even though ZFS is RAID), gets upset that Oracle made ZFS (Sun made it for Solaris 10), claims 9 million customers of iX systems, claims that the number of customers makes a product viable, etc. Then claims to be both an IT pro with 14 years of experience, but then claims to be a humble home users (red flag, not allowed to post on SW.)

            I'm guessing that he will get his account deleted. He has very few posts with a high post deletion rate. I think that they know that he's a sales guy for iX but can't quite prove it yet. In case he starts deleting his incriminating posts, here are a few..

                Going through his old posts, looks like a lot about FreeNAS are indexed by no longer exist. I have a feeling that those have been getting deleted for a while now.

                  I try. He failed pretty hard. He didn't take the time to even look up the basics.

                    I'm taking zero vendor baloney today. I've had three vendors mess with me so far today and none have had a good day as a result of it.

                        Look, here he is a year ago giving the same sales pitch for FreeNAS and even a year ago he was stuck defending that he's not a salesman for iX (he doth protest too much.)

                          I wrote up a report on him for the mods. They can sort him out. Probably just needs to be watched.

                                One vendor was not online, just made a big accounting "mistake". One didn't like their bad press online so went to my boss hoping to pressure her into getting me to not expose them. Um, that failed. And then this appears to be vendor three trying to sneak by some high pressure sales.
