I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to bring my machine as close to 10G transfer speeds as I can?
I have read forum posts including https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/pci-e-to-nvme-adapter-cards.80605/ related to my topic. And also reviewed documentation regarding caching. etc.
I was thinking of using something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09CV5H3V5/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AET9B0FNKDKRC&psc=1
That would bring the total NVME support (assuming it works) to 6.
Currently, I have the following drives that could be used:
3 128GB NVME SSD's (currently booting TrueNas)
1 1TB NVME (spare)
1 60GB SATA SSD (spare)
1 240GB SATA SSD (spare)
Wondering the best setup might be in terms of getting good speeds.
Options:
Add a mirrored SSD Pool to run iocage
Add a L2ARC
Add a SLOG
Add Mirrored Metadata SSD's
If I move my boot drives onto the existing SATA SSD's, I am guessing it won't make a huge difference in speed, and will free up two NVME slots to make a total of 6 High NVME interfaces to use for speeding the box up.
My goal is to be able to use the Personal File storage in Truenas with minimal waiting on my computer. Also to be able to VNC VM's with minimal lag.
With so many options that I could do to help speed things up, I was hoping for a little direction on what might be a good place to start.
Thanks
