Hi All,
I need to re-build my NAS onto new hardware (currently running TrueNAS as a VMware VM with 8 cores & 48GB RAM) and I have the below hardware to hand, just wanting to know will it be enough for what I need, am little worried CPU speed may be a bit low as older CPU's im using now are 2.8ghz but would it matter in my usage case?
I run 4 x SMB file shares on there and 3 x iSCSI Extents mainly for VM's, SMB isn't too heavily used, its a home set up so will be mainly media streaming and general file sharing.
I hear higher CPU clock used to be better for SMB (assume this is still the case?) but in real world on a home setup with not massive SMB going on, will 2.1ghz really be much of an issue? Does iSCSI Extents prefer higher clock speed or threads?
If I really should be looking at a better CPU, what would you suggest but need to find best performance vs power usage as one of the main reasons for rebuilding is the older dual CPU 40-thread server im using is just too power hungry and noisy!
Thanks in advance of any help

- Supermicro board (cant remember model)
- Xeon E5-2620 V4 (2.1ghz & 3.0ghz boost, 8 core, 16 thread)
- 64GB DDR-4 ECC RAM
- Dual 10Gig NIC, 1 for LAN, 1 for iSCSI
- LSI 16 port HBA
- 8 x 8TB in Raid Z2
- 4 x 4TB in Raid Z1
