Leave the "cache" drive out for now (I assume you mean L2ARC). and check your ARC hit ratio after a week or so - that will tell you if L2ARC will be much use

OK, so after taking some time to LEARN about building a server I can certainly see some of my errors. Although this current server is running without errors (doing what I am asking of it) I am going to upgrade it this Friday. This will be the new specs:

After the other 6 computers come on line there will be a dedicated ISCSI Steam game drive for each one...
