Looking to explore upgrading from 4x SM953 480GB in two mirrors (RAID10) in ZFS. The perfomance is 'okay' but not particularly great for 4-5 VMs. Platform is 2x Xeon Silver 4216 and 256GiB RAM. L2ARC to a Intel S3700 (not ideal, I'm aware) definitely helped, but it's still crappy performance. I've already tuned to Virtio, no cache, and thread IO.
What are people using for NVMe on ZFS in similar situations? It seems like good options are Seagate Firecuda 520/530, WD Black SN850, Kingston KC3000, Samsung 970 Evo Plus/980 Pro. Trying to not break the bank -- find a happy middle ground on pricing vs. performance. Want to move to 2x 1TB/960GB in just a single mirror.
