Tuesday Tech Tip: Speed Up ZFS with NVMe 🚀

Every second Tuesday, we will be releasing a tech tip video that will give users information on various topics relating to our Storinator storage servers.

Previously, we released our plan for the newly designed Stornado 2U All-Flash storage server. Brett talked about our plan for the SATA version and an NVMe version coming early 2023. Brett also explains how you can incorporate NVMe storage into your workflow now (if you don't want to wait until 2023). You can check out those videos linked below.

Brett is back this week to talk more about NVMe storage. Specifically, we are talking about accelerating a ZFS storage pool using NVMe devices. Brett talks about ZFS, special vdevs, and shows a comparison between NVMe and HDD for metadata performance.
