I just got my first proper nas, and I have a 512Gb ssd lying around. I know setting it up as a raid with regular hdds would be stupid. but is there a configuration that can benefit from the speeds of the ssd? some sort of cache? If so, how?
You must log in or register to comment.
If you use ZFS you can use the SSD as L2ARC. However, you do have to have enough RAM before this will net any gain in performance so it really depends on what you got.
Wouldnt use ZFS right now… I needs a major patch.
https://www.theregister.com/2023/11/27/openzfs\_2\_2\_0\_data\_corruption/ZFS is leagues more advanced than any other file system/raid technology available. Read the details of the issue, it’s not as significant as you may think.
