Hi,
I'm trying to build a NAS.
At the moment I have a test machine up and running.
Specs:
It's FreeNAS-9.2.1.8-RELEASE-x64 (e625626) (on a thumbdrive) Mainboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LX Processor: Intel Core i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10GHz Ram: 4x 2GB DDR3 Dual Disks:; 2x 2TB Seagate Baracuda (ZFS Striped)
At the moment the read/write speeds of the drives is about 40MB/s.
So I was looking at speeding up the system, maybe with a raid controller. But I juust found out that ZFS doesn't work with Raid controllers. So now the question is which is better/faster/safer.
A system with a Hardware Raid controller, or a system with ZFS??
