Mindovermaster Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) I read that ZFS uses a lot of RAM. I think the rate is 1TB per 1GB RAM, coorect? Being I have 2x 640GB and 2x 320GB HDDs, and 4GB RAM, I should be set, yes? Little head room never hurt anyone... Link to post Share on other sites

If you're on a budget, then roll with 4GB until you've got the dough to grab another 4GB. Is it DDR3/DDR4 memory? Link to post Share on other sites
Mindovermaster Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 No, this uses DDR2. Hard to find these days. The system id an old 775. Running FreeNAS, but didn't format the drives yet. Link to post Share on other sites

It hurts when you call 775 old My primary desktop is still running the 775 socket. Haha. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007611%20601190323 NewEgg has DDR2 Memory available, and for fairly cheap. Link to post Share on other sites
Mindovermaster Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 I mean old, as in, it's a few series before my i5. Not that it's old as in my grandpa. However, I'm low on money right now. I'll upgrade it in the future Link to post Share on other sites
