Hello, everyone!
I'm thinking to build NAS which will work with the NUKE workstation, and I need succeed to get a linear R\W performance of at least 500+ MB/s.
But I have a few questions before I can start and hope someone here can help solve them.
1) I'm planning to use a different size disk (8x 3TB)+ 4x8TB in two pools (and use for connection two different HBA ADAPTEC CARDS).
At the moment I have only 3TB on the hands, so I can't check will this work by myself.
So do it possible to use two pools on different HDD with two HBA in one machine?
2) platform. How do you think that I should prefer, Xeon E3 with 4C/8T but with higher max frequency(i think it's can be about 3,5GHz on all cores) or should I go BIG and use some 2011-3 XEON 6 core+ with HT and lower frequencies (~2,5 on all cores) for better performance of truenas?
I think I will use some plugins on NAS so extra performance hurts no one :) But I don't want to spend extra money on simply warming the air.
3) RAM. I think the overall size of NAS will be about 40TB so how much ram I need to get the best results. I know about the "1TB=1GB" rule or it's simply "how much you can get"?
Thank you for any help!
