I've done quite a bit of reading and setup a FreeNAS server with some parts I had laying around, and parts I purchased. A quick run down :
Fractal Design Node 804 case
AMD Athlon 5350 2.05 GHz Quad-core on Asus AM1M-A (like I said, some parts I had from 2016)
8 GB RAM
Avago 9207-8i (LSI LSI00301) with IT firmware (purchased for this project) and miniSAS cabling
5 x 6 TB = 3 x 6 TB Seagate Ironwolf (new) + 2 x 6TB WD Red (EFRX60s stolen from my old Synology 2 bay) setup as a RAIDZ1
Latest version of FreeNAS on USB stick
No L2ARC, no SLOG, no ZIL drive
I used all default options in FreeNAS with SMB enabled. This is used as a backup system, but I try not to buy junk when I put stuff together in case I want to reuse parts.
The system basically has a write performance of about 80 MB/s - I see each drive doing ~20 MB/s via GUI reporting. Read performance by copying several 4GB file to my local NVMe saturates my 1Gb/s network - read is ~20MB/s per drive, so that lines up well with being about 100MB/s (no parity to deal with). Sync is set to "standard" - I tried setting it to "disabled", performance is the same.
Should I expect more than 80 MB/s write performance? I was hoping I could > 110 MB/s (near saturation of network).
