Hi there,
A couple of years ago I built a freenas box based on recommended hardware using the following:
Supermicro motherboard
Pentium CPU
16gb ecc RAM
4 x WD Red 2TB drives.
USB boot drive
Currently running version 9.10
I'm looking to improve the performance of the NAS and wonder which upgrades would give me the biggest improvement in performance. I generally use the NAS for media storage and serving, plus backups for my professional video and photo projects.
I also find the when I access the wifi shares often seems a bit flaky and the share can just disappear for no reason.
Plus read write performance doesn't seen as good as I would have hoped, but I am using minimal hardware I guess so maybe that's why?
I'm wondering what would be the best upgrade? CPU, boot drive, adding an SSD cache?
Any advice would be appreciated.
