Different use cases I suppose, my FreeNAS box stores my video collection and all the usual stuff but I've also got all the VM's that run my home network stored on it - performance+resliver times are a lot more important to me than storage efficiency.

- problems 9y agoAnd your network-running VMs have high disk IO requirements?
- snuxoll 9y agoAll of my virtual disks are hosted off my FreeNAS, I've got a direct 10GbE link between it and my oVirt host - raw throughput isn't so much the issue most of the time as IOPS are, I've got a local gitlab instance, OpenShift, some PostgreSQL databases, etc. and they like to hammer the crap out of my storage when in use. Having an L2ARC helps out quite a bit, but only having 32GB of memory and wanting to keep most of it for the L1ARC means I still hit my spinning disks regularly (and mirrored vdev's help read IOPS tremendously in this case).
