After spending quite a bit of time reading the threads and contribution by fellow members, I finally decided to ditch my 10+ year old homebrew NAS running Ubuntu and upgrade to FreeNAS. Below are my server specs:
FreeNAS Server
Storage Pool 1 performance: 6 X 3TB HGST 7K4000 Ultrastar in RAIDZ2
Storage Pool 2 performance: 3 X 3TB HGST 7K4000 Ultrastar in RAIDZ1
From Windows share, I am able to max out my gigabit connection in both read and write! Without this forum, my first foray into ZFS and FreeNAS wouldn't have been so smooth! By the way guys, what command should I run in shell that list out my current config so I can copy paste it here for your critique?
