Hey!
So I have become increasingly interested in doing a home server and FreeNas 8 seems like a good idea. I had a few questions though.
Thanks for taking the time to read!

So I have become increasingly interested in doing a home server and FreeNas 8 seems like a good idea. I had a few questions though.
- How expandable is Raid-Z? Could I get (3) 2TB drives now, and easily add a 4th later?
- How does Time machine function with FN8? I have some movies, TV shows, iTunes that should be accessible to all users, and a Time machine drive that would only be used by me. Can Time machine be a single disk that is not part of the Raid-Z pool? No redundancy on this disk is fine. For example, (4) 2TB drives accessible by all users, and a single 1TB drive that would be just "on its own"
- Would this setup work well? I would either have (4) 2TB drives, or (3) 3TB drives. WD Reds. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/k8y9
