Hello all

I am planning to have a 10 Gigabit Capable server as the house has Category 6A Cabling and a Netgear XS712T;

 

As I know that a 15x Drive WD Red 2TB Array would not push the 1 Gigabyte per second speeds; I am looking into getting a NVME Write Cache Drive in order to fulfil the transfer speeds;

Would putting a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB or 500GB SSD allow the server to push those 1GB/s (800mb/s+) network speeds. 

 

Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated

 

Thanks

SSD cache only serves writes on configured shares, and reads only before the mover shifts it down to array.
10GBE in my Unraid is only really helpful to assist with multi stream, and for some reason seems to help inter-docker transactions

So would a Samsung 960 PRO 500GB be overkill for a server which will be mainly be doing multiple simultaneous CrashPlan Backups; transferring files from PCs to the server over the network via SMB and streaming media via plex (The plex container will be on a separate 120GB SSD)  and through DLNA for  OpenELEC 

 

Thanks

I'd still recommend a high endurance ssd for cache
Mines a Micron/Dell Enterprise NVMe SSD
