B+ running FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT has seemed to be pretty solid. For a
minute I did see an issue with some stuck duplicating processes that took
down the system but I implemented pid file control and max execution time
limits to solve that problem. A couple of other issues I need to work out,
are repeated abrupt system shutdowns (power off) going to be an fsck
nightmare, and it seems there is an issue with some things I need to start
on boot not starting probably because of a lag in initial wireless
connection. I just need to rethink those programs a bit, while avoiding
the use of cron.

here's disk info with USB connected thumb drive on B+, when I get a #2 up
and running next week I can post that info as well.

# diskinfo -tv /dev/da0
