Sorry, I described that cluster so many times...

2 nodes, 32GB RAM each (so that is where any "unnatural" speedup would
come from), 2 SSD journals and 2 OSDs backed by a 11 HDD RAID6 each behind
a 4GB HW cache Areca controller. 

OTOH you should be able to easily outdo that with a "classic" Ceph cluster
backed by sufficient individual HDD OSDs.
