Hello everyone,
i'm doing a 10 gigabit backend storage for backups server.
The 2 systems are i5 4590 32GB with SSD Drives on Sata ports. With simple SMB copy file transfers i'm getting 500MB/sec transfers..
(using kingston / crucial SSD's and TP-Link/Trendnet PCIe 10GBe cards)
I'm assuming the bottleneck is on the SSD drives, so i'm looking to stripe across 2 SSD drives. Checking the truenas 12 settings, there are 2 possibilities.
A. create a stripe layout pool by selecting 2 drives
B. create 2 vdevs of 1 drive.
What will be the difference ? Is the striping different ? what do you suggest for performance ?
