Ok lil preface here:
Lab spec in sig
FreeNAS 9.10 AIO on each ESXi host, 2vcpu, 12Gb RAM, vmxnet3 10GbE virtual adapters, 3 node cluster
40GbE phys network - jumbo frames end-to-end
3 VM's, 1 on each ESXi host totaling roughly 180GB sVMotioning between ZIL accelerated NFS storage.
4 ent class ZIL devices tested- P3700, HUSMM, ZeusRAM, HUSSL
esxi6a- SC216 chassis, LSI 6Gbps HBA, 3disk raidz husmm ssd pool, HUSMM ZIL
esxi6b - norco 2212 chassis, LSI 6Gbps HBA, 6 disk raidz2 magnetic pool, ZeusRAM ZIL
esxi6c - SC216 chassis, LSI 12Gbps HBA, 4 disk stripe husmm ssd pool, P3700 ZIL
Think the results hit spot on what I was thinking would happen, P3700 taking 1st prize, HUSMM taking 2nd, ZeusRAM 3rd, HUSSL 4th place. Nothing too awe shocking, just thought I would share.
