I've been wanting to create a homemade NAS for quite some time. I finally got the chance to make one.
SPECS:
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2603 @ 1.8Ghz
RAM: 48GBs
DISK: 18 - 3TB 5400rpm RED NAS drives
DISK: 2 - 256GB Plextor M6S SSDs
HBA: LSI SAS 9201-16i
ENCLOSURE: NORCO RPC 4220
OS: booting FreeNAS off a PNY USB stick.
So I configured a ZFS2 array with all 18 drives, and created a ZIL using the SSDs. I just did a quick configuration to see this guy run. Upon reading on the forums, I need to learn my terms and if this truly is a ZIL I setup.
I got about 68.2MB/sec transfer speed transferring from a Server 2008 R2 box to the NAS. I was just curious how this compared to others on the forums.
I'm still pretty new to the scene, and see that I have some reading to do in regards to ZIL, L2ARC, ect. I'm not sure if the NAS is configured correctly, respectively. For now this is just a test box. I just wanted to start somewhere and see what others thought.
Cheers,
