SLOG Over-Provisioning

  1 minute read.

TrueNAS Enterprise

Over-provisioning an SSD distributes the total number of writes and erases across more flash blocks on the drive. Seagate provides a thoughtful investigation into over-provisioning SSDs here: https://www.seagate.com/blog/ssd-over-provisioning-benefits-master-ti/.

For more general information on SLOG disks, see SLOG Devices.

Because this is a potentially disruptive procedure, contact iXsystems Support to review your overprovisioning needs and schedule a maintenance window.

Customers who purchase iXsystems hardware or that want additional support must have a support contract to use iXsystems Support Services. The TrueNAS Community forums provides free support for users without an iXsystems Support contract.
