Dear all
I am new to TrueNas and would like to replace the Synology systems at our company with TrueNas. The first system I want to replace is a storage which primarily contains virtual machines.
A Supermicro CSE-216 X10DRI-T4+ with 2x Intel Xeon E5-2687WV4 (3,00 GHz) and 384GB Registered ECC DDR4 RAM is used. Also 3x LSI SAS9300-8i storage controller are installed. Thus, each SSD (24x 1.92TB 2.5" Samsung PM1643a SAS SSD) receives the full bandwidth. The controllers are configured as HBA. There are also 2 x Intel XXV710-DA2 (SFP28) network cards installed.
Since the system is home to virutal machines, I naturally want to get the maximum performance. However, I also don't want to lose too much disk space.
Now my specific question. Does it make sense to create just 2 VDEVs with 12 SSDS as RAIDz1? Or are there better configurations for this.
In general, I would be interested to know if there are any other suggestions for improving the system? Does it make sense to install an NVMe cache, for example?
I look forward to your responses.
Thank you and best regards
