Hey
USAGE :
Single human user + 10-20 render nodes. So network rendering, love the L2Arc as all nodes read the same data over and over. Me-user is quite happy with the performance so far... kinda wish the write would be more... when I 1st fired up the NAS it was 1000MB/s write, but then something... glitched... anyway. - Maybe plex?
So Current status
MOBO : MBD-X11SSM-F-O LGA1151
CPU : E3-1260L v5
RAM : 32gb EEC unbuffed - option to push to 64 at some point
HDD : 5x 6TB WD NAS PRO, RAID-Z2
HDD L2 Arc: Samsung 512GB SM961 or 951... can't remember...
NETWORK : Intel x520 da2 sfp+ (I think its Dell-branded)
diskMark via 10gbe sfp+ connection.
Write MB/s Read MB/s
SEQ Q32T1 = 457 1196
SEQ = 338 609
For some reason, I can not increase write speeds no matter what tunable I try. I'm running full jumbo frames - without them, I was getting half the performance above.
In any case...
UPDATE!
8x 10TB WD NAS...
LSI SAS 9207-8i 8 SATA-SAS card - is there any better option? For similar ££ - new ?
Now...
I want to add it as second pool, but not extend my 1st pool - I'm sorry if I name stuff incorrectly, its been a while since I was messing with Freenas. It was working like charm for the past 2 years! :D
In any case ... the second pool, RAID-Z2 or RAID-Z3 ? What do you guys think I should go with? I'm mixed between safety/performance/available disk size... Maybe I should get 1 more 10tb HDD? for 9, Z3?
My MOBO has 8 SATA slots, for some reason 6 white and 2 yellow... I think they might use 2 controllers? So I take I should hock up the 8hdds to LSI for consistency? Or better to MOBO and move the 5REDPRO to LSI instead? Opinions?
Not sure... I'm lost, how are URE at 10tb/8hdd rebuilds?
L2Arc, will my 512gb SSD be shared between the 2 pools or do I need to set it up somehow?
The 10TB drives are RED NAS - no PRO sadly... So I wonder what should I expect of them? Will they be faster/slower than the 5 RED PRO I have? Tricky one...
Also does FreeNAS now allow for extending pool? Say from 8 to 9 drivers? Or it's still a no go?
I think thats it....
TIA !
