Machine is actually running esxi 6.0 and the Omnios/ZFS VM gets 24GB of the 40GB.
So far, I've got 2x4TB as a mirror, but will be adding another 2x4TB vdev to the pool for a total of 8TB.
24GB has been plenty. More than plenty for a small (by zfs standards) array.
Which OS are running?
Overkill on memory for sure, unless you've enabled deduplication. But moar is moar better.
I'm running FreeNAS / FreeBSD 9.2 on a supermicro server board. Runs great in 16GB. That box also runs two media servers and an ownCloud server without a hitch. No idea how many concurrent streams I can transcode but I bet it's a lot, and that I swamp the network before maxing out the CPU.
