Hello everyone.
Me and a colleague are entering the FreeNAS world and would appreciate if you guys could provide us with some tips on the following:
We currently have this hardware components:
1x Seagate 2TB Barracuda LP 7200 RPM (Unknown)
1x WD Red 3TB 5400 RPM 64MB Cache (WD30EFRX)
1x Seagate 3TB Barracuda LP 7200 RPM (Unknown)
We still need to purchase the Case, PSU and a no-break. We live in Brazil and we want to build a low-cost FreeNAS for storing lossless music files using all drives with the following premises:
1 ZPool containing 1 VDev with 2x 2TB and 2x 3TB drives in a RAIDZ1 configuration.
(We will be replacing the 2TB drives with 3TB Red Drives ASAP)
We do not have sufficient knowledge to evaluate whether we should use ZIL, L2ARC or other system configurations.
Our questions are:
Is the proposed architecture compatible with what we intend do do? Are there any recommendations for the case, PSU and no-break that would support at least 8x 3TB drives?
Thanks in advance for your generous help.

We still need to purchase the Case, PSU and a no-break. We live in Brazil and we want to build a low-cost FreeNAS for storing lossless music files using all drives with the following premises:
- Have a reliable and redundant system for storing data, preferring storage capacity over performance.
- Have a possibility to expand the size capacity of the system.
- Have an stable power current to avoid the unstable Brazilian current power system.
