Hi everyone,
I've wanted to see how well FreeNAS would perform in back to back tests on physical vs. virtual hosts on the same hardware for a while now and finally have all the parts together to do some initial testing. My vision is to have a single box that can do it all for my homelab and for testing with ESXi being the hypervisor and have FreeNAS be virtualized and host out a nested datastore for the rest of my ESXi VM's.
I wanted to share my results in case anyone else was curious and...
Physical vs. Virtual FreeNAS + iSCSI vs. NFS: performance testing results.
