Most (many?) nuc users use the mini-pci flash storage devices. My NUCs (I have 3 of the skylake ones with 32G of ram) have 250G Samsung SSDs and those suckers just scream.
- mitchty 9y agoI setup freebsd on mine and have the internal nvmex4 ssd's as caches and external usb3 jbod towers holding the spinning rust. Its nice, though the performance of usb3 is... less than optimal the fact that I can saturate gigabit ethernet means I don't care too much. Local compiles are crazy fast though.
- SEJeff 9y agoThat sounds like a pretty nice setup. I'm running a small (3 node hopefully 5 node in a few months) kubernetes cluster to dogfood things for my own home use. What do you run, some sort of a NAS with them?
- mitchty 9y agoYep, I just run nfsv3 and samba4 on it to share things out to my internal network. Its plenty fast for all my needs, though nfs over wifi is... slow in general its fast enough to not care a whole lot. I have a few bhyve linux vm's running that just go straight to the ssd's so they're silly fast with like 3g/s read speed or whatever. Its more than enough for all my home needs.
- scopecreep 9y agoLooking to do something similar and was worried about compatibility for the disk enclosure. Mind sharing which one you went with that works with freebsd?
- technofiend 9y agoI use a skylake nuc for my lab server. Spins up VMs just fine although you have to run Fedora (vs RHEL/Centos) for full hardware support as some drivers are only in the 4.x kernel.
