First the specs:
HP N40L Microserver - AMD Turion(tm) II Neo N40L Dual-Core Processor
16GB RAM
3 x 4tb RAIDZ1
Separate Boot drive (5400 RPM)
1GB LAN
Version - FreeNAS-11.2-U3
I store a lot of Nikon RAW images to a share on FreeNas, and have a jail set up with NextCloud.
This all works pretty well, except the upload is nowhere near what I would have expected it to be.
I'm looking at the RaidZ1 array as being slow, and thinking a 120/250GB SSD is cheap enough to throw in as a write-cache / Log (ZIL)
Do you think I would see any real write performance improvements?
Where would I get the best improvements in write speeds?
Cheers
