Yes, it can be a bit of a shock when using small virtual disks for testing.
Don't worry too much about the 1GB per 1TB rule of thumb. For general storage and the jails, etc. that you're planning, 16GB is a good starting point.
btw, welcome to the forums! I participated in a thread with you on r/FreeNAS last week.

Heh, so thats why it ate through my VM's 1:10 scale mock drives so quickly. ;)
I've read the hardware recommendation manual and it said I should run 1GB of RAM for each 1Tb of NAS storage as a rough rule of thumb, but more is always better, especially if theres a few jails involved.
