I am seeing some strange slowness with my transfer speeds from FreeNAS. My setup is pretty solid but I am thinking that perhaps 16GB of Ram is not enough?
My current build are TWO identical boxes (One is running FreeNAS, the other is Running CentOS with mirrored SSD Drives):
X10SDV-6c+ Mother Board
Xeon D-1528 (6c/12t) Processor
16GB DDR4 ECC Memory
6x 3TB WED Red (For the FreeNAS Box)
Each box is plugged up with 1Gb Network cable to my network
And I just added
Cat6 directly between the two servers. (Currently this is not a crossover cable, I read that most modern NICs handle Crossover switching automatically but I could be mistaken).
The 1Gb link appears more stable. Usually starts around 112 MB/s and has been dropping to 60-70 MB/s.
The 10Gb link is having worse performance. It starts around 300-400 MB/s and quickly drops to 40-50 MB/s. I would think that 16GB DDR4 was enough, but maybe with the 6 drives I need to get another 16GB DDR4 ECC stick. I wanted to know what you guys thought.
