Hi,
I would like to build a new NAS and would like to ask what the community thinks about the compnents. Will I have troubles, how the performance will be? How to make up the best possible set up with ZFS?
In the moment i have 4 SATA discs which are quite slow (now working in my FreeNASBOX with Super Micro mainboard, Atom Dual Core and 8GB RAM with ~60 MB/S writing and ~70MB/S reading over SMB) and 4 faster SATA discs out of my Lenovo Server. Also there are 2x 3TB USB discs for backup my Thecsus NAS and other backups.
I´ve now the idea to build up a big NAS because it´s always quite expensive to build a new box when the disc space is growing.
I was reading some articels and decided to go for the following components:
1x Fractaldesign Define XL Black Pearl (up to 10 3,5" discs and 4x 5,25 Slots)
1x Super Micro D-X8SI6-F-O Server Mainboard (with 6x Sata II Ports and 2x SAS Ports (LSI 2008) for up to 8 discs)
1x INTEL XEON X3430 2400MHz 8MB LGA1156 boxed CPU
2x 8GB Modul für Supermicro X8Si6-F
This should run with the two times 4 discs from above in the begining with zfs Raid2.
Later I would like to upgrade the machine with
2x 8GB Modul für Supermicro X8Si6-F
1x SAS Controller LSI SAS3801E-R
1x disc cage for the 5,25" slots
some SEAGATE Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001 3TB
Does anyone know the components and can tell me if everything will run smoothly?
How the performance will be?
Is it recommanded to have more discs in the configuration?
Will a ssd drive speed up the performance?
How the ZFS RAID should be configured to get the best performance?
How to make a backup (rsync with cronjob to USB Disc???)
Thx a lot for reading and for helping me build my dream NAS ;)
