Hi!
I am thinking about building a NAS that is based on this hardware:
- Case Supermicro CSE-846BE1C-R1K23B
- Mainboard Supermicro X11SRM-VF
- CPU Intel Xeon-W-2245, 3.9GHz, 8-Core
- 256 GB DDR4 3200 ECC Reg. 64GB
- NVME M.2 Kioxia XG6 for basic system
- LSI SAS 9400-8i HBA
- Intel X550-T2 NIC
- 20 HGST Ultrastar DC HC550 with 18 TB (SAS-3), using RAID-Z2 oder RAID-Z3
- Kioxia 3.2 TB PM5-V SSD (for L2ARC/ZIL/SLOG)
Does this make sense to you?
There will be big files stored on the device (about 8 - 32 GB each), and they normally will be written once and read multiple times. In some use cases there will be lots of small files written and read, that's why I think a L2ARC could be useful.
The system will be used by 5 users that use lots of bandwidth on a 10 Gbit/s network.
As I haven't built a TrueNAS yet, any comment would be appreciated.
