Hi,
I recently purchased a TrueNAS Mini XL+ and wanted to compare the performance of CORE vs SCALE before getting everything setup. I removed the pre-installed Boot NVME storage, installed TrueNAS on a Kingston A400 SATA SSD, and put a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB in the NVME slot on the motherboard and used that as the storage pool. No other drives installed at the moment.
After running benchmarks on CORE, I wiped everything and just installed SCALE (latest version) - and the performance of SCALE seems very poor - and I am not sure what is going on.
Also, in the benchmark numbers below I also compared encrypted vs non-encrypted performance, and saw about 100-240MB/s penalty on reads and writes.
Here are the results all in MB/s (using a 10GB connection) (if there is a slash, it is because I ran the benchmark again a day later, to get another data point).
TrueNAS CORE
2TB Samsung
Encrypted
128KB Record Size
Blackmagic 5GB
Write: 665 / 680
Read: 767 / 780
AJA 64GB
Write: 932 / 940
Read: 1035 / 1082
File Copy from Mac to NAS
Network: 800-950 (usually around 850)
2TB Samsung
NOT Encrypted
128K Record Size
Blackmagic 5GB
Write: 750 / 747
Read: 1000 / 998
AJA 64GB
Write: 920 / 950
Read: 1080 / 1076
File Copy from Mac to NAS
Network: 950-1000+ (usually around 1000)
TrueNAS SCALE
2TB Samsung
Encrypted
128KB Record Size
Blackmagic 5GB
Write: 329
Read: 66
AJA 64GB
Write: 434
Read: 460
File Copy from Mac to NAS
Network: 300-450 (usually around 350)
Note: I did not run benchmarks with a non-encrypted dataset because the results were startling and I wanted to post here to get help!
Also, I ran the ATTO benchmark and here is the comparison between the CORE encrypted dataset (first image) and the SCALE encrypted dataset:
Any help would be much appreciated!
