Hi Guys,
I currently have a 4x3Tb setup running in RAID6, but am starting to run out of space so I have just ordered another 2 3Tb drives.
I want to switch to ZFS now that is a bit more mature.
My question is ... will my hardware cope with it ?
Current spec of NAS is:
Asus H81I-Plus Motherboard
Intel Celeron G1840 2.80GHz (Dual Core)
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9
IBM M1015 ServeRaid
is it still the case that you need massive amounts of Ram to run ZFS (I read a very early document about it few years ago) my board can take up to 16Gb of Ram but is this really necessary ?
And will the CPU be man enough to deal with ZFS ?
What sort of specs are people using with ZFS ? I'd love some feedback / advice from you guys that have already gone down this route.
Cheers
Damob
