The S3710s are 200GB, I guess the 240GB came from the 530s. ^o^ Also for use as journals the older 3700 is actually better suited, as it has a higher sequential write rate. In everything else the 3710 is faster. > By "total rebuild" do You mean reinitializing the whole cluster > (monitors/osds) and starting from scratch? > Well, not the the monitors, but starting from scratch might actually be the fastest way. Unless you have another 10 HDDs and 4 SSDs (1 per storage node) for journals lying around, to get a "fair" comparison to your current install. Realistically you would of course compare something that is about the same size and cost, so more like 16 HDDs.
