Has anyone tried Ubiquiti's ENAS for ProxMox's storage array?

I recently installed Ubiquiti's ENAS as a replacement for my Equallogic SAN. And the price is unbeatable. Now, is it as robust as my Equallogic SAN?? I do not know, we will find out. With that said, at $4000 for the chassis, I can by a spare and still be WAY ahead of the game. With all of that said, I am not a large Enterprise. I only have about 20 VM's with about 12TB of storage, which is crazy when I could fit the whole thing on one of the new drives I purchased. I didn't do that of course, I am running ZFS2 with a hot spare (9 - 12TB drives).

I am wondering if anyone else has tried it out as well, and I would like to know what they thought of it.
 
How are you making the storage HA? Or are you not storing the OS virtual disks on the NAS and it's just for bulk storage?
 
I am not using currently using storage HA. I have two choice, I can put it under a service contract with Park Place, or buy a second chassis. This unit does not have HA built i. Maybe future versions will. I can also just pay for iCare, but replacement might be faster with Park Place.
 
What I mean is that the EQ arrays have dual controllers, active/passive, so there is no data loss if a controller fails or has some fault such as a bad network port and needs to be replaced. Whereas if the Ubiquiti has a fault, you are down until it's replaced and you swap the drives over.
