I'm going to venture to suggest that perhaps we've gotten a bit off track with some exciting banter here.
Everyone comes to FreeNAS with different goals, expectations, tolerance for risk, budget, availability of hardware, expertise, and interest. I think it is important to help people get a sense of what risks they are going to have with certain hardware and what kind of performance they can expect. It sounds to me like you, @CrackJack have a pretty good understanding of that.
It sounds like you understand the limitations of your hardware, I think that is the most important thing.General reply, I can't afford to go and get another cpu, mobo, ram RN these will changed out over the next few years. Yes I am aware of the risks of using non ECC memory but as long as your vigilant and make backups its not a huge deal it can be I am aware plus also ECC ram isnt completely error proof. I am not storing mission critical data, just media which I still have a lot on disc still.
