UFS2 snapshots on large filesystems

Hello,
Considering a PC server running FreeBSD with 4 400 GB hard drives attached
to a hardware raid controller doing raid-5.
So this will present itself to the OS as a 1.2TB filesystem.
Any comments on taking one or multiple snapshots of a filesystem of this
size ?
Given current disk capacities, I would not exactly consider this 1.2TB
filesystem a "large" one ... any comments on say ... a 6-8 TB filesystem
and making one or more snapshots of it ?
Assume they are marginally busy - perhaps a 5-10% data turnover per day...
Thanks.
