Hi All,
I am building truenas build to run some VMs in the lab enviroment.
There is no requirement of data reliability and redundancy, the only requirement is performance.
Following is my build
Dell PowerEdge R730 V3
2x Xeon E5 2670v3 Processor
128GB RAM
Dell PERC H730P controller
5x Dell Toshiba 1.6TB SSD SAS 2.5 12G
2x Chelsio T420-CR
My final aim here is to provide maximum IOPS and read and writes, Hence, I am planning to create single pool in stripped mode and exposing it as zfs-volume to esxi over iscsi where i will be running all the VMs.
My question is will it really make any difference if I use H730P or H330 HBA flashed in IT mode.
