Hi All,
Currently using a single old 120GB SSD for hosting my FreeNas jails and looking to upgrade to get more capacity. I am running VirtualBox (2 Vm's only), CrashPlan, SabNZB, Sickbeard & CouchPotato, so likely to be a moderate level of IOPS. SabNZB is really going to be the only jail with significant hit on the disk where I've tried to minimize the random I/O load by setting it to use 1GB or RAM before flushing to disk.
I was at first thinking about a single 500GB SSD, however for roughly the same money I could purchase 2 x Seagate ST1000LM014 1TB SSHD's and put them in a mirror so I have some level of redundancy as well as twice the space. Redundancy is not terribly important as the data is not critical and CrashPlan backs that volume up anyway, the extra space would definitely be handy though.
Anyone have any thoughts on the Seagate ST1000LM014 SSHD for this purpose?
