That is a pretty hefty mo-chine compared to my ol junk. I probably
should wait until I get some better old junk before I try it.
It does. They also suggest ECC RAM as well, as the overhead for the
ZFS stuff apparently runs better with ECC. Mine isn't but I'm not
that worried about performance as long as it's better than the lousy
DLink NAS, which it is. The DLink takes nearly a day to run an
initial 1.1TB backup, where the FreeNAS box did it in about four
hours. Some network, topography, switches, 1G NICs, etc.
It is using an Intel i7 processor with 12GB of RAM and four 1TB 7200
RPM drives. Granted, not a big NAS volume, but more than adequate
for my Time Machine backups for now. I have two 2TB drives I'm
going to add to it later, probably to create a new volume for the
media stuff.
