Zfs 4gb ram

[eddie84]

Hello I apologize for my English. I wanted to ask you a question. With the hardware that I

Main Board Asus AT5NM10-I 4GB DDR II 800
Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D510 @ 1.66GHz
System FreeNAS-8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x64 on pendrive usb 4gb
HD Storage WD-WMAZA0811053 2TB

problems that I have with ZFS partition?

I've used a comparable setup. You should be fine, certainly with only 2TB storage. Don't expect it to be blazing fast, especially on CIFS. The Atom won't be able to handle full Gbit speeds.

Just to compare, you might also check out NAS4Free, which seems to be a bit lighter on resources. Even though it's really the ZFS that dictates your (memory) use.

I agree on StephenFry's post. I'm also running a comparable system (but with 6x2TB), without any problems. As already mentioned, you won't be able to get full Gbit speed with an Atom and onboard Realtek network card, especially on concurrent accesses, but 30-40 MB/s should be possible.

Excuse me yesterday I copied 160gb via gbit lan and it seemed fast. I have to take a test, the maximum speed as a measure?

 

[StephenFry]

I'm not sure what you mean. "it seemed fast" is good enough, I'd say.

If you manage to get warri's speeds of 30-40MB/s you are golden, for an Atom to do that on CIFS is excellent.
Only lucky people or the ones that tune their systems to the max manage to get 90MB+/s speeds.

I did the test, but the transmission is smooth at 1080p

That's good to hear, but "1080p" in itself doesn't mean anything. RAW, uncompressed 48-bit 1080p could ask quite a lot of bandwidth, whereas a simple x264 .MKV needs on average no more than 1MB/s.
