My current setup is
Motherboard - SuperMicro X9SCM-F
RAM - 32GB Kingston ECC
H.Drives - 8x3TB estern Digital Reds in a mirrored Raidz2
FreeNAS - 9.1.1 Release
I have a spare 240GB Corsair Neutron SSD and was wondering if it was worth installing into my FreeNAS box.
After doing some reading I don't believe I need it as a ZIL as I only have CIFS shares on my box.
And according to what I've read in CyberJocks PowerPoint Presentation the max size should be 140GB when used as L2ARC (I.E. 7/8 of memory x 5).
So as I've said earlier will there be any advantages gained in installing said SSD into my current system?
Many thanks Grant
