I have been thinking, of returning the SSD's and getting 300GB 15K HDDs. All SSD related issues would be solved. However, I wanted to use SSD's in first place because of the speed gain, especially the IO. This actually gave me an idea, on howto add more SSD's to the setup. I need to upgrade...

I never get close to the 300 TBW. Ever. Not in 10 years. That way, I have small data volume. Data is critical, but not a lot of it. I am thinking, that I should rethink the RAID setup and go with ZFS RaidZ2. I would love to use more than 4 SSD's for redundancy, however, the server is 1U and...

Thanks for your input. I cannot find that ZFS (on linux) supports TRIM. On FreeBSD, it does, but the documents don't show that ZoL does (read in this forum). Do you have a recommendation what SSD's have smart controllers? (I take it, that the Samsung 850 PRO does not have a smart controller)...

Well, short answer is both. Long answer: I want to protect the SSD's (will be 4 in total, cost is over $1000 CAD or $700 USD). So you can see, that I don't want to buy new SSD's in 12 month. I am hoping that they will last for at least 5 years. But data protection IS more important than HDD's...

Hi, I am not sure, if I am comfortable to disable ZFS Sync in an production environment. I would gladly switch to ext4, but I cannot use a HW RAID card, because they do not pass TRIM. I need some sort of HDD redundancy (yes I am doing regular backup/and snapshots). I dont want to run the OS one...

Hi there, a little background. I have been running proxmox 3.x for 2+ years now in a SMB environment with success. I had 3.4 installed since it came out. I had 2 HDD's in mirror with VM's stored on that mirror (3ware raid controller). Problem is speed, VMs take sometimes A VVVEEERRRYYY long...
