Our office just recently put together a server that's using NAS4Free. Our core daily team is four people, but we bloat when projects come in. Currently we have eleven people working from it, including the core members.

Some of the specs:

NAS4Free, main storage pool is 4 ZFS virtual devices running RAIDz2 (double+ parity).  Effective storage: 22TB.

We're currently running 3x Highpoint 2720sgls but we're about to swap them out to LSI 9211-8i's.

18x Constellation ES2 3TB's. (16 in zpool, 2 hot spare).

1x Adata 128gb SSD (as cache drive).

Steve, that's terrible performance for FreeNAS. What network interface were you running with that benchmark?
