Hi all, I’m looking at sizing up some new MDS nodes, but I’m not sure if my thought process is correct or not: CPU: Limited to a maximum 2 cores. The higher the GHz, the more IOPS available. So something like a single E5-2637v3 should fulfil this. Memory: The more the better, as the metadata can be cached in RAM (how much RAM required is dependent on number of files?). HDD: This is where I’m struggling, does their speed/IOPs have an significant impact on the performance of the MDS (I’m guessing this is dependent on if the metadata fits within RAM)? If so, does the NVMe SSDs look like the right avenue,
or will standard SATA SSDs suffice? Thanks in advance for your help!
