Hi everyone, I recently bought a TrueNAS Mini X+ and I started to research about the best config for Raidz2, ssd cache acceleration, metadata on flash and fusion pools.
This article about raidz was fantastic, but I still need help.
TrueNas Mini X+ hardware has:
I believe to have enough performance thanks to the octacore cpu and ram.
After my research, based on my budget and scope, I'm think that my ideal setup should have:
Or is it better to make use of OpenZFS 2.0 and use one 2.5 ssd for metadata on flash and the other one for fusion pools?
What's the difference? What size should I look for the x2 ssd, If I will use 4x4TB Raidz2? 128gb? 512?
In both cases, since I will use the two 2.5", is it smart to buy a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter and mount a ssd on it (used for booting truenas), and place it in the remaining free 3.5" bay?
Thanks in advance for the help!
