How much RAM do I really need?

As long as you're using standard SATA ports or SAS HBA ports, SATA drives can be moved from platform to platform and FreeNAS should just "figure it out." It's a good idea to boot into singleuser mode first and make sure they're actually all attached to the new platform. Do a "camcontrol devlist" on your old platform first, count the drives, then repeat in singleuser mode on the new platform.

Networking interface names may change, so you should be prepared to have to reconfigure your network. Apparently this can be a bit of a PITA if you have jails, but I don't know much about that.

Other than those issues, usually shuffling platforms is not a big deal.

Alright, Thanks.

Hopefully all goes well, I'll be setting up the system and running a few stress tests (P95, Aida64, and Memtest86+), all of which I'll hopefully pass without issue and then swap in the new hardware.
