I have the 4 bay Freenas Mini from a few years ago when I purchased this it was suggested that a read / write cache for my workload would not be any real benefit. I have a spare 1 TB SSD that I am not using so I wanted to get opinions from the community to better understand if there would be any benefit to adding this to the freenas mini.
Current configuration:
4 - 10TB WD RED drives in a Raidz2 configuration (no encryption).
1 - GBit network link (will be configuring link aggregation soon)
32 GB of ECC memory
Workload:
Network file system hosting the content for a media server (the freenas is not the media server due to its CPU)
Some general read write for shared storage for a few machines in the network (not high volume)
My write performance is slower than read (I believe assumed given the Raidz2 configuration)
Thoughts ?
