    Difference 8100 8100T

    Hi, I'm looking to build a new freenas system. For my current purposes an i3-8100 seems to be perfect. cheap, 4 cores, ecc. Ideal for a home server and several jails. Would it make sence to go the extra effort to pick up a 8100T (harder to get) which has a lower TDP for power efficiency (does...

    ZFS and Intel 900P

    Hi, I've seen some discussions about the Intel 900P and ZFS and I didn't understand something: Yes, it could be a great SLOG, but most of the time, SLOG only uses few gigabytes, and the smallest 900P is 280GB, so if I buy this card, should I partition it for Slog 10GB (for example) and L2ARC...

    I’m planning on building a system with at least 12 hard drives, requiring at least 12 sata ports. The CPU that I’d like to use is E5-1620 v4 So this makes my options of supermicro motherboards to be one of these: The maximum number of sata ports in all of them is 10 ports. So I’m going to...

    Suggestion / Recommendation for 10Gb SFP+ HBA on FreeNAS 9.X

    I have one Supermicro set up that I am attempting to resurrect. Everything works great except, regardless of which version I try, it won't recognize the the Intel HBA in the chasis. The other network adapters are fine, but after seeing 10G networking I really want to get things pumping through...

    Any benefit to changing sector size on Intel DC S3710 SLOG?

    I just learned that the Intel DC S3710 firmware can be set to use 512e sector size (the default) or 4K. Intel calls the setting the "physical sector size" but it seems to me that you're really changing the logical sector size. Terminology aside, is there any benefit to doing this on a SLOG device?
