BUILD New Highend build with FreeNAS

hundreds of thousands of images at 4k resolution. Would something like ( https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B073BQX2K6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3H5PT8C3B863&psc=1 ) work well for SLOG?

I'm not a SLOG expert. The folks at ServeTheHome have this to say about the Intel Optane...

In terms of endurance, Optane is now the #1 drive for applications such as ZFS ZIL devices because it offers performance at endurance levels that are excellent. Intel is quoting 30+ DWPD endurance ratings for the Intel Optane series. This is a huge feature for Optane drives as they need to achieve high-levels of endurance to play in the memory tier.

It seems like a solid choice.

Please benchmark your existing system with that workload before and after adding the P4800X. I'm really curious to see how much improvement you have. At that price point, it would have to be massive to justify the expense.

Cheers,
Matt
