i got freenas running on a 2 vcpu 8gb vm on esxi with passthrough to the intel sata ports (2x 6gbps and 4x3gbps). it currently has 4x1tb 7200rpm drives in raid10. it serves the shared datastore to my vmwre lab via iscsi.
since i only got 2 extra sata ports to expand and improve the performance, here's where i'd like your thoughts on:
1) what's the simplest way to improve performance?
2) what's the best way to improve performance
3) what's the most cost-effective way to improve performance?
