@LTS_Tom
I’m very interested in the methodology of running PTS in various configurations explained in the video ~15:48. I would like to identify what contributes the most to performance drop. I know your opinion is not to run TrueNAS in VM, but it is very useful for experimentation and can be useful during the hardware migration process. Would you mind explaining the tested configuration? I would be glad to share my test results.

I’m running a very simple home server configuration with Supermicro X11SSH-TF. The iperf3 test looks promising:

iperf Done.

The ultimate goal is to try various firmware for this hardware, including Dasharo open-source firmware distribution based on coreboot.

This is the server I tested it on:
