Comment on Help Reviewing My Server Setup?
bostondrivingisworse@lemmy.world 5 days agoThanks so much for the response! Server 1 has been running strong for quite a while with six cameras on Frigate and very little CPU usage. I do have a ZFS pool on Server 1– this is the first I’m hearing that it requires more resource overhead… Could you elaborate a bit?
6TB is just to start, and I fully intend to upgrade both RAM and storage as I need it.

ZFS is an enterprise software RAID, and 1:1 RAM to TB is the minimum recommended requirement for a production server (e.g. enterprise implementations).
I’ve seen many users stating they have far far less than 1:1 without issues. I recall a r/DataHoarder user saying they have 100+ TB’s and only 16 or 32GB RAM, which is not fully utilized, so it all depends on your usage profile and the size/scale of r/w ops occurring during peak periods.
