I believe you misread, I will only have 2 M1015's as it's cheaper to have 2 of those than any other 16-ports controller. The cheap HBA is because my onboard controller isn't hardware raid, so I can't really pass that as a possible datastore. This is why I need a cheap HBA to just connect a SSD...

I see! Will do, only used CIFS until now.. :rolleyes: Greetings

Thank you for your reply lopoetve and you advice. :D May I ask what you mean with "if you do block" ? Greetings

Well, to maximize throughput and not having the disks as a bottleneck, i'm putting the zfs caches on SSD's: L2ARC is the reading cache, so this has to be bigger to deliver frequently requested files. (during the shares) ZIL is the write cache, so this requires a small SSD. You could put both...

Sorry dude, only saw it afterwards. Post is edited as you requested. :cool:
