I run Xigmanas in a vm on my ESXi server with 12Gb of ram allocated to it (Server has 32gb), and pass through the MB sata
ports, and is running with four hd's in a mirror ZFS for each drive pair. 3Tb [*] for the media share (Movies, Pictures,
Music), and 10tb for the backup share. (Think VM's from the server and remote vm's, plus the media share's.)

I Recently upgraded from 4tb drives, and with zfs. It's just a matter of taking one of the drives out and replacing it
with the bigger one. Tell the system to rebuild the array, once that's done replace the other drive and repeat, with the
advantage that the array will get expanded to cover the extra space...


[ * Going to have to replace these drives soon.. Only got 50Gb free ]
