    Pitiful NVMe performance with PM983 ZFS pool

    So I get that the PM983 is not the most performant drive on the market, and ZFS isn't the most optimized for SSD performance, but I must admit I was expecting a little better than 37MiB/s and 9k IOPS! sudo fio --filename=test --sync=1 --rw=randwrite --bs=4k --numjobs=1 \ --iodepth=4...

    [US-TN] "FrankenNAS" - HP Z420 ZFS BYOD kit, 8x3tb HDDs

    So this is a bit of a DIY project that I'm no longer using. Started with an HP Z420 Workstation computer, took it out of the (quite limited) OEM chassis, and mounted it into an Antec P100 case. Makes a great ZFS box with an 8 drive RAIDZ2 array. I don't know if the motherboard supports V2...
