Is a 10GbE TrueNAS Server Worth It?

In this video, we ask, is a 10GbE TrueNAS server worth it? We discuss the reasoning why it was decided to build a 10GbE NAS from parts rather than purchase a pre-built one from a vendor We then detail the hardware we choose for this build and show how a tool like PC Builder can help pick the right parts to avoid compatibility problems Next we cover some of the bottlenecks we ran into and what to expect when upgrading to 10GbE And then discuss some of the fine tuning you can do for 10GbE devices to improve the throughput Because we will be using TrueNAS we explain what a ZIL and SLOG are and demonstrate the benefits of a SLOG We touch on the choice between TrueNAS Scale and Core And demonstrate the benefits extra memory can bring for ZFS Useful links: https://pcpartpicker.com/ https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/... https://iperf.fr/ https://jrs-s.net/2019/05/02/zfs-sync... ============================= SUPPORT THE CHANNEL Donate through Paypal: https://paypal.me/DavidMcKone Donate through Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/dmckone Become a monthly contributor on Patreon:   / dmckone   Become a monthly contributor on YouTube:    / @techtutorialsdavidmckone   ============================== ============================== MEDIA LINKS: Website - https://www.techtutorials.tv/ Twitter -   / dsmckone1   Facebook -   / dsmckone   Linkedin -   / dmckone   Instagram -   / david.mckone   ============================== Hardware Mentions: CPU: Intel i3-9100T Quad-Core ** Check eBay for refurbished ones Cooler: Arctic Alpine 12 Passive Fanless CPU Cooler https://amzn.to/3Tb5E16 Motherboard: Gigabyte C246M-WU4 Micro ATX LGA1151 https://amzn.to/3CpWvLz Memory: 4 x 8GB Kingston KSM26ES8/8HD 8GB DDR4 2666MT/s ECC Unbuffered Memory https://tinyurl.com/46nd3ajs SSD: Crucial MX500 250 GB https://amzn.to/3VppFmw HDD: 6 x Seagate IronWolf Pro 6 TB 3.5" 7200RPM https://amzn.to/3rQHOfw NVME: 2 x Patriot P300 256 GB M.2-2280 https://amzn.to/3VlGU8r Case: Fractal Design Node 804 MicroATX Mid Tower Case https://amzn.to/3CRvjqk PSU: be quiet!
