tests with ZFS and
some with UFS. On the ZFS side the most attractive thing is the backup
and of course
the easiness of administration.
don't get fooled.
if i were you i would get any motherboard with 8 SATA ports, up to 8 1TB
disks, cheapest available CPU, good PCIe gigabit cards or two.
8x1TB with some mirroring + striping would equal how much in terms of
available space? Sorry i have to do my homework regarding RAID :|.
gstripe of 4 gmirrors will give 4TB
graid3 or graid5 will give 7TB, but much lower I/O performance (same with
ZFS raidz). if you mainly read/write large files it's OK.
With graid5 read performance is near gstripe only writes are slow, with
graid3 or ZFS raidz both are slow.
To be exact - single reads are not slow, but I/O capacity is low so under
concurrent reads it will be very slow.
