Hi,
I'm doing some research on putting together a storage system which has to be able to do fast reads and fast writes. It will primarily store many digital movie files for playing and editing. We will start with probably 80TB of net storage space.
Now I've seen some posts of people who have created ssd only pools (storage systems).
If anyone has experience with these ssd configurations, I would appreciate it if you could post the everyday read/write performance that you achieve with the configuration that you created (single copy action and or multiple copy actions simultaniously).
So these could be configurations consisting of ssd only pools or configurations consisting of mixed pools (e.g. sas disks and a probably very large read cache).
In our case the average file length is about 30GB (which probably cause sequential reads/writes). The thing is that there will be many many files. Our goal is also that files that have not been accessed for a long time should also be able to be read fast (e.g. is somebody wants to edit an old file). By fast I mean >= 400MB/s
Is it correct thet setting vfs.zfs.l2arc_noprefetch to 0 will also help filling the l2arc with streaming/sequential reads faster?
I thank you in advance.
Regards,
R
