I have the same system (the Xeon version) and it's an excellent base for FreeNAS as long as you're not looking for more than 5 drives. The i3...
akira181: Sounds like you're aware of the risks and have a solution, I'd go for it.
Regarding adding drives, lets say you had 6x1TB in RAID-Z2. If you replaced 1 of them with a 2TB, you would still have 4TB available (2 drives lost to parity). However, if you replaced all 6 of them with 2TB...
If you are trying to protect against bitrot, you won't be able to do it effectively without ECC.
If you run a scrub on your volume and a bitflip occurs, the scrub will destroy your data. You'd be trading one problem for another. I'm sure you know, but a bitflip can occur even with perfect...

For anyone who has thought about playing this game, the patch released today makes it extremely accessible. You're no longer stuck grinding for many matches before buying and customizing your first mech. I just started a few days ago and it's been a lot of fun. Development seems to be moving...
And if you're paying more for durability over the 840 without special needs, you might be the uninformed customer.
Take a look at the xtremesystems thread where they actually stress test these drives...
There should be an option to not display the RAID information. Should be under Raid Option Rom or something similar, depending on your motherboard. Will save you about 5 seconds of startup time, but obviously, you'll have to re-enable it if you want to use the interface.
I cheaped out. I wanted the box, but I thought that if the empty box were sitting on the shelf for a few bucks, I sure as hell wouldn't buy it :)
Really excited about the release! Between this and GW2 good times are going to be had.
Just out of curiosity since I haven't run IBT before, I gave it a run on my system with the same setting (2048 mb).
