I am trying to figure out performance metrics for ZFS and if my plan is even possible.
First off the hardware.
ASUS P8H77-I H77 mITX mobo
Xeon ES 1230 CPU (possibly undervolt/downclock)
16gb (2x8gb) DDR3 ram
6x 2TB LP drives
Intel NetEffect Net Effect NEO20-CX4 10GB Ethernet Cluster Server Adapter PCI-E (with matching on my desktop)
Connected to my desktop utilizing an iSCSI lun over the 10gbe connection. The intent is to remove all internal storage from my desktop computer save for the OS SSD.
With the above hardware is it possible to have throughput in excess of 200mb/s? With IOPS similar to that of a 2 drive DAS raid-0?
Would that powerful of a processor be required? Or could I get away with a dual core i3?
I have asked this on a couple different forums but no one can seem to answer me and instead tell me to buy an HP server. I am building the case myself and it is going to be very purpose built to my requirements. I just am unsure if ZFS can give me the performance I am desiring and how much CPU is actually required (I would like to buy the $100 cheaper i3 but will buy a 4c8t if I need to).
