I've always used QNAP devices. but I've decided to move to a more DIY solution like TRUENAS Core, and now I'm a little confused with all the information available regarding various logs and caches etc.
I have 6x SSDs in my build (2 will be used for mirrored Boot Drive) and I'm about to go through the installation process so I'd like tips as how I should utitlise the 4 spare drives. I plan on using 2x in a mirror to store apps (MYSQL etc.) and a single VM, which leaves me with 2 drives for other purposes.
I'm wondering if I'd be better off using both for a mirrored ZIL or 1 for a ZIL/SLOG and 1 for L2ARC?
I was comfortable enough with a mirrored ZIL but then I read that if you have 64+GB of RAM then L2ARC is helpful. I of course happen to have 64GB of RAM installed.
The use case for my NAS is a large storage pool on HDDs which will host personal files and media files for streaming around the house. Whilst the SSD storage pool is for a windows server VM and other various services/apps.
So, which option would people recommend I go for?
Thanks. :)
