    SSD Recommendation for ZFS ESX Datastore

    I went with cheaper (and bigger ssds) and then when with mirrors. Crucial m550's and I have 4 now. I originally did a raidz1, but mirrors are so much easier to add capacity to for something like vm storage, and performance seems to be much better.

    Gauging Interest: FreeNAS / Proxmox Backup Service

    This would be pretty cool. I'm sure there are a couple of people like me out there that just host tons of media, and would consider it. I don't even need a high availability, I just need to know it's there and I could get it back eventually. I've been tempted to use backblaze's b2, but have...

    SFF NAS Upgrade - ZFS Build Advice

    I went the iscsi route with esxi because even with slog, my vm performance over nfs was not the best. I could never get nfs performance above 50MB/s over nfs with vmware using 4x1tb in a mirrored pool. iscsi I get around 500MB/s

    FreeNAS Corral: Can't create Groups?

    I do, but it's really just a side effect of nightly snapshots & replication. I think I've had to restore something from a previous version once or twice. It seems pretty slow to enumerate through the directory structure, but other than that, it seems to work fine.

    This might be slightly off topic, but what has you experience with vsan on the xeon-d's been like?

    FINAL Bachelor Build - Xeon D vSAN Cluster

    I've had a complete mixed bag with optics & dac's on the us-16-xg, and it has seemed like a mixed bag for others. They just released an alpha firmware that increases dac compatibility as well, so i'll be installing that this weekend.

    High Capacity Storage Server for 10Gb Network

    I have 8x8TB SMR's on corral in a raidz-2 config, and all of my media is shared with plex using nfs over a 10gb network. I've never seen a problem with read performance using plex with 8 concurrent streams occurring. Write are good as well ~300MB/s sequential file copy, and I think that's in...

    FINAL Bachelor Build - Xeon D vSAN Cluster

    D-1537's on the supermicro x10sdv-7tp4f, and pretty much for the exact same reasons you went with them. Was there that much performance difference between the 1537 & 1541 on the D1541D4U-208R board you purchased on your transcodes?

    FINAL Bachelor Build - Xeon D vSAN Cluster

    @IamSpartacus I think your build pushed me over the edge to move to xeon-d finally. I've been teetering on if I should hold out and get something more powerful, or just take the plunge. The biggest thing I was worried about was plex on-the-fly transcoding for internet users. I think I saw your...

    FreeNAS Corral Canned – Development Essentially Halted for Now

    @KioskAdmin - After messing with the beta's for what seemed like forever, then updating my homelab stuff to Corral, I can say that the UI is still super buggy. Some settings are non-existent, and it seems like I have a better experience in Firefox vs. Chrome, and even page refreshes take...

    FreeNAS Corral Canned – Development Essentially Halted for Now

    @SaltyPeanuts - I get the same feeling as @PigLover reading their forums. There's a lot of walking back from the cliff in their statements. It just seems like it was ultimately bad decisions somewhere, and a rush to production. To be completely honest though, they could flip on a dime in a...

    25w Pentium D-1508

    I've been using twinax dac instead of transceivers, mostly because it's cheaper.

    Review of White Label 4TB drives

    So, it looks like the price went back up (238USD) so I'm guessing they are pretty much out right now. Has anyone else purchased a 4tb wl that wasn't a western digital RE or Red based drive?
