Good to hear. I've just started testing a setup with an areca arc-1680
sas card and an external sas-cabinet. It currently has a zpool with
ten 1 TB-drives in raidz2. It may grow to a two-digit TB system if the
testing goes fine.

It will nfs-share the partitions to my FreeBSD webservers. I'm using
nfs v.3 and tcp with a read- and write-size at 32768.
