Thanks for the reply. Are cores better because of the compression/deduplication being mult-threaded or because of multiple streams? It is a pretty big difference in clock speed - so curious as to why core would be better. Glad to see your 4 core system is working well for you - so seems like I won't really have a bad choice.
Why avoid large drives? Reliability reasons? My main thought on that is that there is a 3 year warranty and I am building raidz2 because I expect failure. Or are there other reasons to avoid large drives? I thought I understood the overhead.. The write and read speeds should be roughly that of the slowest disk?
