I saw a nice compact usb drive in the shops which looks ideal for use as a "plug and forget about it" device to boot FreeNAS from, but I was wondering which size drive I should get. The only spare drives I have at home are 1 GB in size, which I know isn't big enough.
I have a choice between buying a 4 GB drive and a 8 GB drive, and the price differential is pretty small. So I figured that if at some point down the road FreeNAS might need more than 4 GB for a boot drive (plugins?) I might as well pick up the 8 GB one. But is that likely to ever happen? Or will 4 GB be more than I'll ever need?
