Hi there,
I know that people are going to say that my question is a bit too open ended, but to make it more specific... I'd like to enable compression on a volume for my new FreeNAS box I'm building tomorrow. I don't want much of a performance penalty. I will have a lot of media files, which I know don't benefit too much from compression, but I'll also be hosting my uncompressed time machine backups, file syncing, etc. Also, I'll be using the Intel Avoton Atom C2750 (8-core) CPU. Are there some specific hardware features I should be looking for that would help w/ compression performance, like AES-NI for encryption? Thanks!
