What I run a mirrored zpool on top of a pair of 1TB SATA drives - they are only 7200 rpm so pretty dog slow as far as I'm concerned. The CPOU is a dual core Athlon 6400, and I am running amd64. The performance is not brilliant - about 25 meg/second writing a file, and about 53 meg/second reading it. It's a bit dissapointing really - thats a lot slower that I expected when I built it, especially the write speed. -pete.
