If you plan on using it as a storage server for multimedia data
(movies), don't even bother considering compression, as most media files
already come heavily compressed. Dedup might still come in handy, though.
Media files may not dedup that well either and more importantly that
hardware isn't likely to be sufficient to get good dedup performance
since it is fairly low on DRAM and has no SSD for the L2ARC to keep the
DDT cached at least in L2ARC.
