Hi
I am looking to upgrade my file server a bit. It now has a E3-1200v2. I am looking to upgrade to a Ryzen 5 3600 or Ryzen 7 3700X. I would like to use sync=always to improve data consistency. Most if not all access is using NFS anyhow.
On the motherboard I am looking at (Asrock Rack X470D4U) I have the option for 2 NVME disks: my other disks will be SATA. Intel Optane m10 32GB seems a reasonable option price wise for a NVME disk
So my question: Would it make sense to use a 32GB optane for Zlog? I know that size is not a problem: even with 10Gb link it should be plenty. Now one of the NVME drives will be on a PCIE2 slot, giving me about 1GB/sec. This is theoretically just below the 1.25GB that would be the maximum if the whole 10Gb link would be writes, which is pretty unlikely, so I assume that I can ignore that deficiency
PLP is not required for Optane, I understand, so for my low usage this setup should be fine, or did I miss something?
