We're budgeting for our san upgrades in the spring and CPU's are on the priority list.
We have two sans, one has Dual E5 2620 and the other Dual E5 2603 V2
We had planned to use these systems with Starwind and so CPU's aren't a big priority on that software.
Fast forward and we have freenas running exactly how we want, but notice cpu usage can get high on backup days and causing some issues.
Both servers can use the same cpus. So is there a recommended CPU in the E5 family?
Our servers are used strictly for NFS VMware data stores.
We run 24 drives, PCie Slog, Pcie L2Arc. Currently 64gb of ram but thats next to get upgraded.
