Hi,
I am looking to use Freenas as a storage box for a friends camera server. The box has six WD Red (4tb) and is in use as a file server for 4 workstations - not much activity on the unit.
The camera server has 45 cameras on it (2-4mp units). I have tried setting the freenas box with the spinning disks as the destination but the camera software keeps giving hard drive error messages indicating it is not fast enough. I spoke to the camera software vendor & they said that I need at least 115 megabytes per second - I think gigabit is close enough (or I would think).
So I took a windows PC with a SSD, setup a share, then setup the camera server to point to the windows SSD share. Everything seems to work great.
My thought was to buy a SSD for freenas, setup a pool on that drive, then try to figure out how to 'auto move' everything on the SSD pool onto the spinning disk pool.
Any ideas on how I can make that happen? Ideally it would copy the file from the SSD, then delete the file off the SSD so it never runs out of space.
Thanks,
Rich
