Greetings,
I'm looking to build my first FreeNAS box.
I plan to use this box to store my documents, music, pictures, and videos.
I have a Drobo that I will be using to backup the most critical files from the FreeNAS box.
My idea is to build the box the right way and "set it and forget it (mostly)."
Thus, I'm opting to max out my RAM to 32 GB.
Do I really need a dedicated ZIL drive if I have 32 GB of RAM?
Here is what I plan to purchase:
Any comments or suggestions? Thanks!
