We primarily use P3700 nvme cards in our storage servers. I've been trying to get a grasp on the reason to do this. It's popped up again now that we're experimenting with meta drives as well.
I'm happy to do some testing for the community if I can get some ideas on how to actually test the effectivness of running all 4k, or maybe a combination of 4k and 512?
I generally run 2 400gb p3700 OP to 100gb for SLOG, 2 800gb P3700 OP to 400gb for Meta, and 1 2TB P3700 for L2Arc.
I only use freenas for an NFS 3 store for my vmware cloud.
