I have a number of systems running a mix of Windows XP and FreeBSD. Until now, I have always used the default filesystem in each case and done backups by hand.
Now I need to create a NAS system with 2 purposes:
The best choices seem to be RAID 10, perhaps hardware-assisted, or ZFS RAID-Z/Z2.
Data integrity is most important, followed by staying within-budget, followed by high throughput.
Can someone with experience help me sort this out? The information I've found so far seems outdated, irrelevant to FreeBSD, too optimistic, or has insufficient detail.

- to be a sandbox for experimenting with high-throughput, strongly fault-tolerant transactional database storage,
- as a LAN-shared, non-scratch storage system.
