Look at a AMD Zacate, I have the MSI E350IA-E45 running zfsguru and 4 western digital 2tb drives in a zfs array and its alot faster then gigabit(click for proof and thats with a 4 disc raidz), they are alot faster then a Intel Atom and really low power.
The pool has compression and access times turned off and has over 1.4TB of movies and files on it. All the tests are done using the ZFSguru non-destructive benchmark.
Test 1 using Athlon:
Size : 16GB
Source : zero
Read : 177 MB/s
Write : 162 MB/s
Test 2 using Athlon:
Size : 16GB

I will do 2 tests tomorrow using parts from my Server and my HTPC (both in sig)
Here is how the 2 test machines will be setup:

Im using 0.1.7 rootonzfs (specs in sig) and shut my server off today and when I booted it back up I found something odd.
All but my OS (80GB) and one of my 2TB drives (2TB-3) lost their labels, I had them labeled 2TB-1 through 4 using GEOM. They also lost the 4K sector .nop fix and now say 512...
@sub.mesa: Is the disk image 64 bit? Because I can't seem to get it to boot in virtual box. I used a ubuntu vm and dd to copy the image to the virtual box disk but when I try booting the vm it says
