I know the usual just as more RAM, but if that is not an option...I was wondering if it is possible to use 2 SSDs in a ZFS Mirror as the ZIL/L2ARC drive? I currently just use my FreeNAS box as a 20 TB formatted CIFS share with the following specs and have no performance issues:
AMD Athlon 5350 APU 4-core at 2.06 GHz
16 GB RAM
LSI00244 (9201-16i)
15 2TB SATA drives in RAID-Z2 with a hot-spare
Just to reiterate, no performance issues. My network read/writes run at about 90 MB/s (1 Gbps full duplex is great) and if I go to shell, a copy of a large (100 GB+ files) averaged at 147 MB/s. Just more of a wondering thing as my system board only has 2 memory slots, so 16 GB is the max I can put in without spending a large amount of money for 16/32 GB DIMMS.
Thanks in advance.
