I've set up a FreeNAS 9.3 system onto the best hardware I could think of buying based on everything I've read. About the only thing not perfect seems to be that I'm using Kingston memory.
I've been testing moving some esx blades from fibre channel storage over to freenas using Ethernet and so far, the performance is awful.
I've been using FC for many years and Ethernet simply never matches what FC can do.
Granted, I've not done any kind of fine tuning but even if I did, I think FC would still kick Ethernet in the butt.
Which makes me wonder... instead of using iSCSI over Ethernet, I am wondering if anyone is using FC and if so, which adapter might be the best target, etc.
I don't see support for FC in freenas but perhaps I'm missing something since I'm so new to it.
Thanks for any info you can provide.
