10gbe, NVMe and CIFS


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Looking at repurposing one of my lab server machines to be storage for photos and was wondering if anyone had any idea if Unraid could saturate at 10gbe link, when using 2 x 500gb NVMe as cache drives? 

Its a single client (iMac Pro with onboard 10gbe card) and I guess protocol would be CIFS or AFP

 

The motherboard I already have and would like to use is the Supermicro X10SDV - its a D-1540 CPU 2ghz with 8 cores, 16 threads. Benchmark is 10k+ but single thread is around 1.3k. It already has 2 x 10gbe onboard.

 

Obviously if the files are on the array, they would be at disk speed rather than NVMe speed - would 7200 disks have much of an advantage over 5400?

 

Anyone with any experience of the D-1540 especially?

 

Thanks!
