More memory for Freenas. There may be specific situations with ESXi hosting Freenas where an L2Arc helps, and you can carve that out of the same 900p you are using for the log drive.

This is a fantastic thread about it you should read. Log/cache discussion and examples start on page 4.

You should also be using ECC memory.

the host is now running 32gb memory. everything i saw did not say free nas was huge on memory. some relation to the amount of space you have on the box.

free-nas is not running inside VMware. its bare metal.
