So 10GB per journal is plenty, unless you're doing something very special (and you aren't with normal HDDs as OSDs). > Instead am I better off using 2 x 200GB S3700's instead, with 5 disks per a SSD? > S3700s are unfortunately EOL'ed, the 200GB ones were great at 375MB/s. 200GB S3710s are about on par for 5 HDDs at 300MB/s, but if you can afford it and have a 10Gb/s network, the 400GB ones at 470MB/s would be optimal. As for sharing the SSDs with OS, I do that all the time, the minute logging of a storage node really has next to no impact. I prefer this over using DoMs for reasons of: 1. Redundancy 2. hot-swapability If you go the DoM route, make sure it's size AND endurance are a match for what you need. This is especially important if you were to run a MON on those machines as well.
