I've had a RAIDZ/ZFS File Server since Update 2, so I thought I'd share my setup.
Opteron FX-51 (2.3Ghz, Socket 939) Asus SK8N 4x 512MB EBB Unbuffered DDR1 Memory 2x Skymaster PCI-X 4 Port SATA (based on SI3114 Chipset). currently deployed over 2x PCI ports on the motherboard. 1x Intel 10/100 NIC PCI. 8x 320GB Western Digital SATA Drives As you can see, I'm sharing the PCI bus for both controllers and my NIC. So the speed isn't very fast (10MB/s) from a Windows XP client through Samba. I'm considering changing motherboard to Asus K8N-LR, which will allow me to use both PCI-X slots, and a dedicated Intel Gigabit NIC in the PCIe slot. Which will dramatically speed things up.
