Hello,
I have a stock Truenas Mini X+ that came with a Western Digital (WDS250G2B0C) M.2 2280 as the boot device. I am using samba shares under MacOS and write performance is abysmal unless I disable sync, or dedicate one of my Samsung EVO 860 PRO SSDs as SLOG. Despite the EVO's latency, it improves write throughput by a lot... this got me considering moving the boot device to SATA DOM, and installing a small Intel Optane M.2 2280 device in its place for SLOG duty (these things have super low latency, great for SLOG duty). Do you see any issue with this idea?
thanks,
Kiriakos
