That’s awesome though- grats 
This is a community resource that is not officially endorsed by, or supported by iXsystems. Instead it is a personal passion project, and all of my opinions are my own.
Backstory (You can skip ahead)
About 18 months ago my furnace smogged up my whole basement, which is incidentally where all of my computers are. All of the computers (2 EPYC servers, and now my gaming desktop) from that time slowly died off, because carbon build up, despite my best efforts.
Essentially the TLDR; is; I built a new Gaming PC shortly after that happened…and I repurposed my old one as a TrueNAS. I needed to improvise things for a while after that, I wanted to connect a LUN to my new gaming desktop via the magic of TrueNAS. Was working great…Well, now that motherboard crapped out.
Because I “DD” (not dd) a Mac Mini 2018, so I’m stuck with 512GB of local disk…
I have an obnoxiously large “Home Directory” synced between it and my Windows PC… and keeping all of that in sync meant I needed to store stuff “somewhere else” in Windows, and I wanted it fast.
Today I finally resurected one of the EPYC servers I lost. I got a new case, and a replacement motherboard. Old RAM and CPU all check out after a a day of memtest86. Basically I just did a forklift of the motherboard and case…reused all of the other parts I already had.
Some I cleaned with IPA…others I soaked in IPA… and all dried inside a Corsi Rosenthal Box
System Migration, Same Pool
How this all relates to TN-Bench (now tn-bench) is…benchmarking. I have a 3-week old result from that previous system,
Specs
Ryzen 5600G 6C-12T 3.2GHz Base
Gigabyte AORUTS X570 Elite Pro?
32GB 3200MHz G.sKill
RAIDZ1 - Single VDEV - 5x Intel Optane 905P 960GB
So now I have, what I had before,
AMD EPYC 7F52 16C-32T
REPLACEMENT Supermicro H12-SSL-I
256 GB (8X32G) DDR4 3200MHz RDIMM
RAIDZ1 - Single VDEV - 5x Intel Optane 905P 960GB
In the old forum I had done some testing with differant PHY/BUS layers or Generational Improcements…Like doing bifurcation or using a PLX switch or upgrading from one hardware generation to the next.
I hope to pick this back up in a more meaningful way now, measured with tn-bench. Lots more PCI-E lanes to play with
Old Threads for Reference:
But for now…I just want to see how these two wildly differant systems compare in tn-bench See other benchmarks here https://cpu-benchmark.org/compare/amd-epyc-7f52/amd-ryzen-5-5600g/
Starting that off these are the results I got from the Ryzen 5 5600G rig about 3 weeks ago (when I updated this program last). It died about 2 weeks after this happened.

TN-Bench is an OpenSource Software Script that uses standard tools to Benchmark your System and collect various statistical information via the TrueNAS API.
TN-Bench will make a Dataset in each of your pools for the purposes of this testing that will consume 20 GiB of space for every thread in your system during its run.
After which time we will prompt you to delete the dataset which was created.
###################################
WARNING: This test will make your system EXTREMELY slow during its run. It is recommended to run this test when no other workloads are running.
NOTE: ZFS ARC will also be used and will impact your results. This may be undesirable in some circumstances, and the zfs_arc_max can be set to 1 (which means 1 byte) to prevent ARC from caching.
NOTE: Setting it back to 0 will restore the default behavior, but the system will need to be restarted!

Ryzen vs EPYC – DD Benchmark Comparison for ZFS Pool inferno
Single Thread Performance
| Metric | Ryzen | EPYC |
|---|---|---|
| Seq Write Avg | 406 MB/s | 332 MB/s |
| Seq Read Avg | 12.6 GB/s | 13.7 GB/s |
Observation:
- We see here the Ryzen, with newer cores and higher clocks, beats the EPYC in single threaded writes.
- But EPYC having alot more RAM and extra channels wins even in single threaded reads.
Thread Scaling Behavior
Write Performance
| Threads | Ryzen 32G (MB/s) | EPYC 256G (MB/s) | EPYC/Ryzen Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 406 | 332 | 0.82× |
| 1/4 Threads (3v8) | 1,144 | 2,539 | 2.22× |
| 1/4 Threads vs 1/2 Threads (6v8) | 1,842 | 2,539 | 1.38× |
| 1/2 Threads (6 vs 24) | 1,842 | 4,526 | 2.46× |
| 1/2 Threads vs All Threads (12v16) | 2,233 | 4,526 | 2.03× |
| All Threads v(12/32) | 2,233 | 6,243 | 2.80× |
Observation:
-
We just see domination here across all comparison points…thanks to massive caches on the CPU…a decent amount of RAM…and those extra juicy memory channels…
-
I would love to test this on a “top of the line” DDR5 platform…but that’s unobtanium … at least until they show up in droves on eBay after a 5 year lease.
Key Takeaway: NVME write performance is directly related to memory bandwidth, and therefore it’s unrelated to ARC.
Read Performance
| Threads | Ryzen 32G (MB/s) | 256G EPYC (MB/s) | EPYC/Ryzen Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 12,636 | 13,670 | 1.08× |
| 3/8 | 8,328 | 74,970 | 9.02× |
| 6/16 | 8,444 | 90,427 | 10.8× |
| 12/32 | 8,489 | 25,333 | 2.97× |
Observation:
-
Here, I was expecing to see the biggest differance…and we do…if for no other reason than the QUANTITY of RAM. We do (this is NOT Direct IO), and its especially obvious when we see the sharp drop off in the “All Threads” test. At that point we’ve finally exhausted the 256G on the EPYC system.
-
The highly cached results in the middle (1/4 to 1/2 load) show just how helpful ARC can be, even in an NVME world.
Key Takeaway: In terms of “What do I upgrade first”: RAM still reigns supreme. For quantity…and bandwidth. The “newer”, albeit smaller, Ryzen 5600G doesn’t stand a chance with only dual channel memory.
Single Disk Single Thread Performance
| System | Avg. Across All Disks (MB/s) |
|---|---|
| Ryzen | 1529.73 |

Key Takeaway:
Here we again see that extra single core performance of the Ryzen make it edge out it’s server CPU uncle.
Final Thoughts
There’s alot of recent interest in “mini” NAS’s with 4 NVME drives in them. My results here with a gaming board prove those all NVME pools on top of Celerons and Atoms are bottlenecked by those systems. This is probably obvious to many, but well worth mentioning in terms of using benchmarking to better design your next upgrade.
To be clear, those users usecase’s may be fine with that level of performance. I suspect that this class of device would actually work very well for some folks. In fact, for the workload of just serving my “D” drive in Windows, my previous system was working well.
But those systems are not going to give you BRRRR fast disk access in a memory bandwidth starved world. People have high expectations for NVME drives, but you must not forget that RAID and Parity, let alone the rest of ZFS, have a performance cost. When you’re moving data to NVME drives as fast as system memory…Every bit of bandwidth helps. To really see the performance, you need to scale out your workload.
- More threads more better
- AI Needs GPU Memory…ZFS needs system Memory.

Dude, your a legend, I was looking for something like this, currently putting my rig through its pases now.
First thing your utility pointed out is have 12 x NVME drives in close proximity is going to require some better cooling

@NexGen3D Interesting results, I love that we just grabbed data for 3 differant disk types in there (HDD, SATA SSD, NVME)
So as I understand it you are working on the NVME angle now in a recent upgrade? Here’s some of my musings based on that understanding with some ideas for ugprades if thats what you are after.
Here’s the relevant data for max threads SATA vs NVME. Insert AI Magic Table
| Metric | NVMe (MB/s) | SATA SSD (MB/s) | NVMe / SATA Ratio |

Otherwise, the reults show us prelly consistent behavior, which I am happy to see because the script is working well.
We see read performance more than 2x the SATA SSDs which is great to see, but you’re definitely hitting a memory bandwidth bottlneck there. The write performance proves it.
Whats more interesting is comparing this to my results.

These are my results with half as many NVME drives in the system, and I am getting better read and write performance. So in my case, the EPYC platform seems to be better optimized in terms of latencies and I/O differances than the slightly older Xeon 4114…and in a measurable way. But I think that speaks to your upgrade path.
The impact of your system having dual CPUs and the latency inherent with that design are a factor here.
192GB of memory means you have additional memory slots available, and so there’s performance improvement possible there depending on the configuration. Also, are they 2400MHz (Mine are 3200MHz)?
Single core is a factor here, where the 4114s are only 2.2GHz base clock.

Single Thread Rating, just as an example to my EPYC
2507 vs 1682
(-32.9%)
The fact that I am using Intel Optane instead of Consumer NAND NVME can probably account for a big part of the write performance I have over your system… But I am not sure and I think the platform based bottlenecks are more important to tackle anyway.
My suggestions
The Xeon 6136 may be a good bang for your buck upgrade. I see them sub $75 for a pair on Ebay.
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/120479/intel-xeon-gold-6136-processor-24-75m-cache-3-00-ghz/specifications.html
Populating both sockets vs only 1 socket, and differant RAM configurations might be interesting. Trading bandwidth for latency, differant configurations may yeild better or worse results. And if you end up using 1 CPU, you’ll still get about the same multithreaded perfomance as you are now probably using less power.

6146 maybe viable too.
But otherwise RAM configuration variants might help. Populating some slots and not others may yeild better load balancing across available channels.Or just buy more RAM xD.
Yes, Epyc has much better IO throughput, but I built this system with value for money in mind, I wanted Epyc, but I got 2 CPU’s, 12 Sticks of ram and the Supermicro board for half the price of just the Epic Supermicro board on its own.
CPU’s I paid $19 each for them, ram I got for $10 a stick, and the Samsung OEM Pro NVME drives cost me $25 each (All values in AUD)
I am looking at a couple of Gold 6238 or 6242V’s as an upgrade, but to be honest, every client in my house is gigabit, and only a couple of workstations are 2.5g, the server has dual 10g but until I upgrade some of my end points, I really cant saturate the R/W of the network storage anyway.
I also think the Ram I got is only 2133mhz ECC, it is running in 6 channel mode per CPU, but the board can support 2900mhz modules, so this could be another upgrade path.
One thing to note, these 4114 silver CPUs together are cooler and pull less power versus the I9 9900K they replaced, that thing really cranked out the heat.
The Sata SSD’s are all consumer Samsung EVO’s I think they were 960 or 970, cant remember exactly, I love these drives, I have ones kicking around that must be 10years old now, even some 840’s, these are incredibly reliable, I have hundreds of Samsung HDD’s, SSD’s, NVME’s and not a single failure, even the old 80GB HDD’s still work
The SATA SSD Pool is on a LSI controller card, and its what I use for main NAS storage, the smaller NVME Pool is used purely for Frigate storage and has close to terabyte written to it constantly, so these get thrashed, not concerned to much about failure and its only security video footage and the drives are recycled from a PC recycler, plenty more cheap ones to swap them out with, the larger NVME array is for all of the Truenas App goodness.
Overall pretty happy with the performance compared to my older X390/I9 9900K system, it may have been quicker on a single thread, but I feel this Xeon system is quicker overall, and I was always hitting a wall on PCI lanes with X390, this was really giving me the sh*** and still today, all the consumer grade parts have this same limitation, I feel that an R9 9950X would been awesome, the PCI lane limitation was a deal breaker, so I went with old used commercial gear, and I’m glad I did, this is my first Supermicro board, and I love it, reminds me of my old Dual Athlon Asus board I had decades ago, but better in every way.

This conversation is why I started this project and this thread
So thank you for sharing! I love reading about other people’s systems engineering and min maxing xD
Also, yes, consumer gear PCIE needs more lanes. At this point theres just so much demand for it.
Also if it means anything, I bought an older off contract TrueNAS M50 and it’s got some of the same stuff hardware wise (at least as a single node configuration). So you picked good stuff
One last edit:
Just a personally preference, I’m glad to see you are of similar mindset.
Older generation servers (which have historically dominated by Intel, because late generation Opterons were…special) have always been my go to homelab solution.
They are often dismissed as being hot and loud, both of which can be true, but anything after Westmere is perfectly viable given the right amount of space is available. You’re trading miles on the odometer for cost savings, but usually the ROI of using either used servers or used server parts vs building it yourself new, works out.

Big update. Benchmarking Logic remains unchained from v1.07, but massive changes to the “UI”, JSON exporting and more user choice.
Todo is adding additional information to the JSON and formalizing it’s data structure.
Will work on cleaning up this thread and the docs this weekend.

Here’s the results from two different systems I have. Hardware is exactly the same other than drive models. Oh on System 1 I kept the boot drives bot visible but on System 2 I used hardware raid via the BOSS card.
Both systems are AMD EPYC 7662 64C, with 512GB of DDR4 3200 MT/s (8x 64GB RDIMMs).
System 1 w/ INTEL SSDPF2KE016T9K NVMe

TN-Bench is an OpenSource Software Script that uses standard tools to
Benchmark your System and collect various statistical information via
the TrueNAS API.
* TN-Bench will create a Dataset in each of your pools for testing purposes
* that will consume 20 GiB of space for every thread in your system.
! WARNING: This test will make your system EXTREMELY slow during its run.
! WARNING: It is recommended to run this test when no other workloads are running.
* ZFS ARC will impact your results. You can set zfs_arc_max to 1 to prevent ARC caching.
* Setting it back to 0 restores default behavior but requires a system restart.

✓ Total benchmark time: 474.69 minutes
Something I noticed was that System 2 had hit 100% CPU utilization during testing but I don’t really think I saw System 1 do that. System 2 idles at about 461 watts and system 1 idles at about 349 watts.
During testing System 2 hit a peak of 753 watts. System 1’s peak was 551.
It’s interesting to see the performance difference. Also no I don’t just run these EPYC systems with TrueNAS all the time lol just wanted to compare the drives for fun and education really.
I’m happy to play around with any type of pool config and rerun for curiosity sake.
