2tb hitachi drives and zfs
2013-03-18
I’ve built a new file server at work so we can start phasing out the old ultra-scsi arrays we have. Since performance (and price) is valued more than actual space, my initial quote with iXsystems was for 26 1TB Drives ( HUA72201 ) with the assumption being that the lower platter density would provide better performance. I was not super satisfied with the results when I actually setup the ZFS array, and the best performance numbers I got out of it was about 250MB/sec
