Hey guys, first time using freeNAS since back in o.7.
I bought a TS140 that I want to use as a NAS with 6x4TB Reds. It came with 4gb of ECC memory and I've been able to find 2x4gb more memory with brings me to one free spot for more memory. I've been offered an 8gb stick but with that it would mean that I would not have dual channel memory running in my system. So my question comes down to: should I buy one more 4gb stick and have 16gb dual channel or should I pick up the 8 (which is being sold to me at the same price as the 4) and have 20gb of single channel memory?
Performance is definitely an issue for me since I will want to stream 4k content from this box as well as have other clients accessing it.
Thanks
