Layer 3 switches operate on IP addresses. This means that they can route the traffic, like a router.
There are multiple scenarios where you could use Layer 3 switches. You use OpenWRT as your router so I guess you make this routing there.
You could take advance of L3 switches if you would...
I need your help to take final decision about my next TrueNAS build.
Right now I use SuperMicro X10SDV-2C-7TP4F with onboard storage SOC, SFP+ and 2x SATA DOM. From functionality perspective it's great. I use it just as a storage host for network storage. No VMs, now jails and no other stuff...
Looking for Full Height Mellanox ConnectX-2 bracket for single SFP+ NIC. Best would be to get it from Europe to avoid expensive shipping, but any option is open.
Toshiba looks nice. Is VM storage more read intense or write intense?
Do you see any other competiting drives?
Here are the test results for Goodram
GOODRAM IRDM PRO 480GB SATA SSD Review | eTeknix
I found interesting SSD drive. Parameters are very nice but nothing crazy as SATA drives reached the limits. The most interesting part is that they used MLC chips and Phison S10 controller. It's not the cheapest one (120$ for 480GB).
How do you thing. Is it worth to buy it for small ZFS pool for...

Anyone used fs.com...
One more option in my mind. Maybe i could go with original plan and use NVMe drive in XenServer node and just add some spinner/SATADOM to boot XS.
So: add it to XS node or FreeNAS node?
I have one WD NVMe (WDS250G2X0C) 250GB m.2 drive I wanted to use as a local storage in my XenServer node. Supermicro X10SDV has unfortunetly some major problems in handling NVMe as a boot device. I moved to m.2 drive, but with SATA interface without problems.
In longer term I want to add one...
4k stream means for me: take a file with 4k resolution and stream it to TV over DLNA or other protocol. Personaly i use Serviio which uses ffmpeg at background.
Yes I use C3000 embeded NICs. PfSense will support it from FreeBSD 11.2 but right now there are drivers you can use with current...
