Hi, I hate to ask this but my searching skills are letting me down recently ;(
Im building a new NAS Box and I'm in hardware testing stage. I'm using MSI E350IA-E45 MoBo with 8GB of DDR3 1333MHz RAM and 4 Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB ST2000DL003 drives in RAIDZ1. I'm Running FreeNAS 8.0.1 Beta 4.
They are 4K drives so in theory I should select "Force 4096 bytes sector size" right? But if I do so I get really poor performance - write speeds of about 50MBps. When I leave this option unchecked I get writes around 250MBps.
So my question is which option should I choose? Or should I wait for stable FreeNAS release?
