Hey all, I generally don’t like asking for help this way but my sister has been battling endometriosis and needs some help. She has setup a GoFundMe to help with the medical costs since she needs to see an out of state specialist. Please share or donate if you can:
@Andrev here is the documentation on it: https://www.truenas.com/docs/references/l2arc/ it’s basically write cache with RAM. More RAM equals larger files able to be cached. You can use L2ARC with an NVMe to give you more (slightly slower) write cache as well. Both ARC and L2ARC are just write.
Read caching is a bit more complicated but their docs are here: https://www.truenas.com/docs/references/slog/
TLDR though, all this means nothing if your network can’t handle it.
@Andrev I could do a huge write up on this but a few suggestions:
- Use TrueNAS scale and run a VM of Ubuntu for docker containers of all services
- With 6x20TB drives you have plenty of speed to saturate a gigabit Ethernet connection, go for 1TB NVMe cache if you can but even then more RAM is better since it caches as well (and will be used first)
- Immich for photos/videos is good, Navidrome or Plex audio/music for music.
I run 4 servers and 2 NAS systems at home, AMA
