Dear ceph users, we are managing ceph clusters since 1 year now. Our setup is typically made of Supermicro servers with OSD sata drives and journal on SSD. Those SSD are all failing one after the other after one year :( We used Samsung 850 pro (120Go) with two setup (small nodes with 2 ssd, 2 HD in 1U): 1) raid 1 :( (bad idea, each SSD support all the OSDs journals writes :() 2) raid 1 for OS (nearly no writes) and dedicated partition for journals (one per OSD) I'm convinced that the second setup is better and we migrate old setup to this one. Thought, statistics gives 60GB (option 2) to 100 GB (option 1) writes per day on SSD on a not really over loaded cluster. Samsung claims to give 5 years warranty if under 40GB/day. Those numbers seems very low to me. What are your experiences on this? What write volumes do you encounter, on wich SSD models, which setup and what MTBF? -- Easter-eggs Sp?cialiste GNU/Linux 44-46 rue de l'Ouest - 75014 Paris - France - M?tro Gait?
