   - If you follow the advice on ECC memory then the processor must support ECC memory (not all do). All Xeon CPUs do, as do many Pentiums, Celerons, and Core i3 CPUs. No Core i5 or Core i7 CPUs support ECC.
   - Home users with modest demands generally do not require expensive dual or multiprocessor setups.
-  - If using encryption select a processor that supports AES-NI. Otherwise, don’t use encryption; it results in too much of a performance hit. In fact, unless you have a specific legal requirement for full-disk encryption, don't use it. The risk of data loss is too great.

   - Most modern (i.e., Sandy Bridge or newer) Intel CPUs will have adequate performance for any sort of file sharing over a gigabit network.

   - Use enough HDDs in your system so you can employ some sort of redundancy within the zpool/s and the vdev/s. If you aim for a minimum of 4 this will allow RAIDZ2 (ooooh yummy).
