CustomInk does good stuff! I'm in as well :)

With larger amounts of ram Dynamic is best. You could assign a min. 4GB and a Max of 6GB to each VM.

Im using a E5-2699 v4 VM with 8 cores as well as a GTX 1080 not Direct Allocated (RemoteFX) technically on a Server 2016 Host. Able to transcode multiple 4k/1080i/720p streams. I rip all media (DVD, Blu Ray, YouTube, etc.) and use a DC S3510 Raid6 array for the media. In my Plex server settings...

In one example, data (WAN) comes in, and passes through PfSense to internal VM(s) on LAN writing to disk. Performance is key so NVMe is utilized.

Sure, SSD is improvement over HDD/SAS. The traffic is absolutely going to disk. (1) of the culprits are public speedtest server. WAN to LAN, no way around it. I can limit (who) gets to speedtest but... thats another thread :) NVMe on 10Gb+ yield good results. A single SFP+ or bonding SFP+...

Specifically, Raid 6 DC S3510 Server 2016 Host, DC P3608 VM Storage. Nothing specifically set up for cache on PfSense (no squid, etc.) other than Intel built-in features of the DC drives (which need run RSTe software to work). NVMe is the way to go if I had to nail it to a single sentence.

Thought it was cool :)

In my case, the P3608's are substantially faster than non-PCIe disk's (all of them) so I use them for PfSense. Using other drives (SATA/SAS) would slow things down considerably. The cache is the DC P3608's.

It is :)

Sory was for the OP, If I used my DC S3510 SSD'sthat traffic would eat the drives in short time. Versus the DC P3608's I use which have higher resiliency before failure. Personally I wouldn't use consumer drives for PfSense.

My PfSense see's about 10TB per week of Incoming and Outgoing Traffic, be aware of your bandwidth usage and drive physical longevity.

I use 8GB DDR4 and 8 Cores (E5-2699 V4) on a Virtual Machine for PfSense for 10Gb connections bonded to 20Gb. I see up to 75% CPU loads and 30-50% mem loads. Although I am using IDS (Snort, VPN, Multi-WAN)

Generally speaking the speed of SMB share's over a network is disk dependent more than your NIC's. Depending on the disk configuration, you would see slow copy speeds. Copy paste I assume, I think cut/paste is better for a quick speed idea imo.

I bet neither manufacturer has updated microcode to include 8180 Have they released an update since the meltdown/spectre patches from Intel?
