Hi guys,
After several days of reading and researching I think I put up something usable so I'd like to ask for opinion on this.
I'll start with usage: This is mainly my personal NAS, so at most, there'll be 2-3 clients conencted to it. I'll be running about 19 containers on it, some less demanding like Photoprism, nginx proxy or something more demanding like tdarr and plex. I'd also like to spin up some Ubuntu desktop and server editions, to test stuff related to my work, the VMs will most likely not run 24x7 though. I will also be running a home assistant VM.
Now for the HW part:
MB: ASRock - X570D4U
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600
Case: Fractal Design Node 804
RAM: 2x Micron 32GB PC4-2666V ECC UDIMM
PSU: Seasonic Focus PX 550 Platinum
HBA: something like LSI 9207-8i
Drives (already have these, so I'll use them): RADZ1 4x 8TB Seagate SkyHawk - dont ask, they were just cheap
So my first question, is this something that would work? Or is there anything you'd change out?
My second question, I'm coming from Syno DS920+, where I had the ability to use NVMe SSD read-write cache. Because of the conatiners, my IOPS spike to about 9k writes and 1k reads pretty often (every 10-15 min or so). Are the write IOPS something that the ARC would be able to absorb? These spikes usually last only around 2-3 sec.
I don't really do that many sequential stuff, except plex streaming, which wouldn't benefit from the cache anyways.
So based on the resources I have read, and that I will be using mostly SMB, I wouldn't benefit from SLOG SSD, or any L2ARC. Ff I'm mistaken, please correct me.
Thanks all for the help
