Sooo I just completed my 10G network upgrade and now its time to beef up the drive performance in the NAS box.
After the network upgrade I can pull about 235MB/s from a SMB share to a VM.
Current hardware
Dell R710
Perc H310
6X - 1TB WD Black 3.5 SATA-2 drives. RaidZ2
32GB Ram
Dual 10GBE Nic.
Uses for this FreeNas box
iSCSI Datastores to VM hosts
2 or so simultaneous Plex streams
Option 1
4 X WD PRO 4TB Reds with dual HGST 100GB SLOG SSD's on the Perc H310
SLOG
HGST 100GB SAS SSD 2.5'' HDD HUSSL4010BSS600 0B27395 - $50.00 Each
Spinners
WD Red Pro 4TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD4002FFWX - $180.00 Each
Total $820.00
Option 2
Upgrade to a LSI SAS 9300-8i SAS3 12Gb/s card - $150.00
Run 4 spinners with no SLOG
Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5'' HDD 4TB 7200 RPM 4Kn SAS 12Gb/s 128MB Cache Internal Hard Drive ST4000NM0095 - $200.00 Each
Total $950.00
I'm not a pro with SLOG and disk setups on FreeNAS so there's that..
As far as performance what would be a better choice? will the SLOG setup preform good compared to option 2?
Future proof would of course be with the SAS 3 setup.
What do yall think?
