It may be worth pointing out with SSD's as journals that "wasted
space" is not necessarily a bad thing.  First, unless you buy tiny
SSDs, which generally have poorer performance characteristics due to
fewer chips, you will be limited by IOPs and latency, not available
space.  Second, due to SSD wear leveling algorithms, any wasted/unused
space that never gets accessed translates directly into longer life
and that is no bad thing.

The Kingston SSDNow E100 series are the only Kingston products to ever
pass our internal qualifications, and appear to be pretty decent.
That said, our production Ceph clusters are all Intel all the time.
SSD vendors that are not Intel pretty much exist for the sole purpose
of keeping Intel honest.

Thanks!
