    Backup restore on ZFS produces high load

    Since your disks in the RAID are all SSD I would remove the log and cache. In your setup it could easily reduce your performance. As a general rule of thump: Unless your log device is given at least 4-5 times the random performance over your disks in the array it often only reduces the overall...

    This must by far be one of the worst advices ever given! disable sync: Do not honour sync requests from applications and instead give applications the impression that data is safely persisted. I hope no database server is running on this disk disable checksum: Effectively break ZFS' self healing...

    Poor ZFS performance On Supermicro vs random ASUS board

    I have been in the same situation at work with our new HCI SAN where each node contains 1 TB of RAM and since each node contains 25 TB storage it requires a large part of the storage to make the test;-)

    [SOLVED] What is the ZFS Defaultcompression when i say "on"?
