Hey guys,
I keep running out of disk space on my local Win10 machine for my steam library. I've got a recycled HP DL380G6 with 12 SAS 3TB drives & an 400GB SLC cache & 10Gbit adapter running FreeNAS. I've traditionally only used this for VM backups but I've been thinking of carving out a slice of 1-4TB and serving up a SMB share for my win10 box.
Rather than run locally on SSDS, do you think there is going to be any noticeable difference between running it off a network drive on 10Gbit fiber vs local ssd? I have an older NVME SSD (PM951 I think, 1TB) drive that seems to max out on reads sub 1GB/s.
