Hello, What kind of x86 CPU does ZFS prefer? In particular, what kind of CPU is optimal when using RAID-Z with a large number of disks (8)?
Does L2 cache size play a big role, 256kb vs 512kb vs 1MB? Are there any performance improvements when using a dual core or quad processor machine? I am choosing a CPU in a system primarily for ZFS and am wondering whether paying the extra price for a larger cache or going dual core will provide any benefits. Or would it be better to put the money towards a higher clocked CPU?
