Hi Everyone,
I'm new on FreeNAS forum but I look your documentation/forum about a while !!
I've try FreeNAS on VM several times (testing) and now I would like to build my own physically.
I'm READY !!!
So, I would like to build 12TB RAW (6x2TB) with RAIDZ2 -> 8TB
But i'm not sure about motherboard performance.
First, I would like to buy an Asus E35M1-I with 8Gb of RAM.
But CPU performance isn't good for CIFS share, i've read about 65-70mb/s (maybe not good for 1080p CIFS Streaming
)
Because Samba use one thread so best frequency = best performance
I've also read that more RAM you have, better it is, so 8Gb for 12TB maybe is'nt the best..
And when a disk crash, reconstruction maybe longer... (not very important for me)
On second, I've find Asus F1A75-M LE (LE only for network chip -> Realtek 8111E)
Build with AMD A4 3400 2.7Ghz, 16Gb and a nice BeQuiet CPU cooling.
On this configuration, I've read about 110-115mb/s (Windows OS)
But it is 200€ (247$) more expansive :(
The rest of my configuration:
- Verbatim Store'n'Go Netbook USB - 8 Go -> FreeNAS disk
- Fractal Design Arc Mini
- Be Quiet Straight Power E9 - 450W
- Noctua NF-S12B FLX x4
- Seagate Barracuda Green SATA III 6 Gb/s - 2 To or Western Digital Red RD1000M - 2 To
So, what is the best for CIFS share for you?? To view 1080p movie thruth network (maybe on Raspberry :o)
Thanks a lot !!!!! :D
