If you have 16GB and you got 1% per day.. in less than 100 days you would be 
at 32GB.. If growth continues you will theoretically be at 60GB+ within a 
year.

If you can afford it the more the merrier.. given that you likely will have 
this machine for a good couple of years.. as your data grow what was once 
"overkill" will become "a good amount" of memory. So I would say do get the 
16GB if the budget allows it.

How will you monitor disk failures? Does that controller can be monitored 
with FreeBSD in some way?
