Hi;
Am am building a new NAS setup after playing with a test setup using 3 old mixed size drives. I have just installed 8.3.0 on a 8GB USB Stick and after setting up the initial settings will be setting up the storage.
I have 3 x Brand New 1TB WD Caviar Green SATA Drives.
I will using my NAS to hold all of my Movies / Home Video / Photos / Music to be accessed by a mixed Mac / PC network / Home Cinema (Probably only one device at a time). I also want to use my NAS as a backup for my PC and my 2 x Macs, probably using Time Machine.
What is the best ZFS option for the above, to give me data protection and decent performance, read speed is probably more important t prevent stuttering when watching movies / listening to music.
The mobo in the NAS is from an Acer Aspire M3610 which I think is Gigabit and my router is a Speedport W 723V which is capable of up to 300MBs and I am using CAT5e which is also Gigabit capable so the network hardware should be good.
Thanks
