<div dir="ltr">I want to build a NAS for a friend. I need a five-bay enclosure. It must have a 64-bit CPU and allow me to add up to 16GB of memory. It'll be using ZFS, which performs better with lots of memory. I'll probably need USB3, eSata and dual ethernet ports. A low power unit would be nice.<div>
