Hello,
I have few questions before starting with Freenas, I also have been working with other NAS OS and wanted to try this ones. First of all, I just wanted to know If I can achieve with raid5 of 5 disks for example, a write and read speed of 10gbps in disks, I am not talking about that I will need a pcie ethernet port of 10gbps, just talking about the disk perfomance on a raid 5. If I am not wrong, on raids 5, read speed was improved but write speed was not, I suppose it is because of the parity disk that has to be reading and writing everything on its disk. But at least I wanted to know if anyone was able to reach 10gbps on their reads speeds. About write, I wanted to know if I could use a ssd to cache all my content and then for example 10 min after start moving that content to the normal HDDs, I know that is a risk for a power down issue that could end on losing data, but I just wanted to know if Freenas gives the user opportunity of doing this as other NAS softwares, just to increase writes on a raiz5 as reads.
Kind regards,
Pedro
