What model? Seagate is not highly recommended around these parts... :D "Seagate being sued for shoddy hard drives."

Question on the "SuperMicro" build... the case you chose has "4x mini-SAS HD connectors" for the backplane, are you thinking of just using the two SAS connectors built onto the Motherboard for now to try and use the 16 drives? I think you may need to add another HBA to get two extra connections to the backplane (or at least one more).

Also, USB 3.0 is not really supported too well with FreeNas 9.x; so you may want to check on this..
