I’m planning on migrating over my hardware super micro 24x disk shelf to freenas and gathering some info on what SSDs to buy.
Ive been seeing a lot of speak about intel S3700 ssds. I know they are abit older now but prices on eBay are reasonable. Or are there any more recent comparable drives??
also does anyone have any advice on how I should present them to freenas? I’m looking at 2 potential scenarios.
1st is to add 4x ssd as a hardware raid10 to my esxi host and pass the other 4 directly to freenas using a hba or 2 is to use all 8 in a hardware raid10 on my esxi host and just pass a 1tb virtual device through to freenas as a slog l2arc device for the 12x 4tb sas disks currently in my super micro disk shelf.
I also have a couple of windows virtual server on my esxi host that just do dns and active directory servicing for my network that would be sharing whatever config I use on the host itself.
any advice would bevaluable.
