Would this work well for the mentioned use case? Or would I need more memory for the planned expansion as per the 1GB per TB storage rule?
Also I also thought of maybe changing to:
which would get me a bit more CPU performance for about the same price by using cheaper DDR3 RAM.
Is there anything I have not taken into consideration? Is there anything I can swap to spend less money?
Thanks for the input.
