How important is the CPU for ZFS?

@Moonrise2473 to datahoarder@lemmy.ml • 11 months ago

I want to build a truenas server with the cheapest CPU I can find that can support ECC RAM: Celeron G4900T + 64gb ECC RAM + 4x18 TB SAS drives.

I don’t have experience with ZFS or with truenas (core or scale), how much important is the CPU?

Use case: hundreds of thousands of small files mostly under 1 mb, but just 2-3 concurrent users

In my (admittedly) limited experience with ZFS, it utilizes more RAM than CPU except for scrubs.

If you’re wondering about the downvotes, I got brigaded by PRC simps. Lemmy doesn’t yet have the protection against this that Reddit had.

Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
