Hi,NAS =network attached storage, meaning if you were to bring the performance to the top, network speed should change- for example- upgrade from 1GB to 10GB or through bonding, make 1GB to 2 GB. The storage speed itself is just fine, I believe.
I have a Dell r720xd in the 25 2.5" drive front, 2x 2.5" FlexBay rear, format.TrueNAS has been loaded and the four 146GB SAS drives set up as 2x for the OS and 2x as virtual drives.If I were to put two 2.5" SSD's in the rear FlexBay would TrueNAS make use of them for high speed swap - while the drives in the front are used, in various virtual drive configurations, for storage?The server currently hosts 8x Samsung 4GB 2Rx4 PC3-10600R-09-11-E2-P2 RAM sticks.Should I be planning to add more, or to upgrade them with something different, for improved future performance?Thanks ...
