Hi Christian, Wonder why are you saying EC will write more data than replication ? Anyways, as you suggested, I will see how can I measure WA for EC vs replication.

I'd suspect that by the very nature of EC and the addition local checksums it (potentially) writes it to be worse than replication. Which is something very much to consider with SSDs.
