Dear all,
For the upcoming Truenas 13 I may go a new way designing my Pool & vdevs....
One server has 8 x sata nas drives, 64gb ecc and 10gb nic.
The main usecase is smb for about 100 users (local & vpn) + periodic snapshots + replication to a different server + this server is a desitnation for replication daily from elsewhere...Currently this box has one pool with one vdev using 6 x sata disks raidz2 and the performance is just ok but not great.
So I think about the following versions for a new design:
01. 8 x sata disks (1 vdev 1 pool raidz2)
02. 8 x sata disks (2 vdev 4 each - 1 pool raidz2)
03. 8 x sata disks (1 vdev 7 disks 1 pool raidz1 + 1 hot spare)
Or does this all make not a big diff and I should switch to ssds and if so, which pool design is then recommended with 8 slots if i aim a performance gain ?
Thanks & Best !
