Hello All
I am looking at building a new NAS box and have a few questions for all the seasoned pro's.
So far i have
1 x Fractal Design Array R2 case = mini itx and 6 hdd spaces
1x 8gb ram (2x4)
1 x Asus E35M1-I Deluxe AMD M1 motherboard
I would like to use 4 x 3tb wd green drives in the zfs version of raid5
a) Is 8gb of memory enough for the ammount of storage?
b) Is the dual core e350 going to die under the load of the system?
c) can i build a 3 disk array and then expand it to 4 in zfs raid5?
d) and finally is it advisable to use 3tb drives?
Thank you in advance for your help.
