Hi,
I've got a new server here. It is not intended for FreeNAS, but I've installed FreeNAS to see if it works.
Hardware
Mainboard: Gigabyte MZ31-AR0 (https://www.gigabyte.com/Server-Motherboard/MZ31-AR0-rev-2x/sp#sp)
Processor: AMD EPYC 7351P 16-Core Processor
Ethernet controller: Broadcom Limited NetXtreme II BCM57810 10 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
SATA: 16 ports on-chip
Network speed test
I've started a iperf3 server on a Synology NAS with 10G SFP+ connection (the NAS is in use, so there may be some bandwith used for other purpose). Also the traffic has to pass an inter VLAN router, which may limit bandwidth.
I've run following command on FreeNAS:
Result looks fine. Broadcom BCM57810 works. But no idea if it is stable for long time.
SATA test
Did also some short read tests on the SSDs (three different manufacturers: Intel, Micron, Seagate):
So SATA seems to work reasonable, too.
EDIT:
I've created a storage pool on 6 SSDs (3 different manufacturers) with RAID-Z2. Also I've added a "benchmark" dataset with compression disabled and then run a dd benchmark writing a 100GB file:
Result ~1620 MB/s
Questions
Questions are welcome, but FreeNAS will be deleted from the server in the next days.
