Hi,
I have tried two different CPU's for my FreeNAS server, but I cannot figure out which servers my purpose best.
I am using my FreeNAS exclusively for serving files/iscsi. No transcoding/torrents or anything else, its exclusively a NAS/SAN.
I have tried the Xeon E5-1620v3 and the Xeon E5-2650Lv3.
The E5-1600 series have a higher CPU core speed, but the other have lots of cores and lower CPU speed.
Neither have ever been maxed out for a longer time, but I am wondering if what is best for a straight up NAS/SAN?
Cores Count or Core Speed?
I am wondering if I should buy and try the E5-1650 since it has a couple of more cores than the 1620 and a slightly higher core speed.
Thank you in advance.
