We use the 800GB version as journal devices with up to an 1:18 ratio and have had good experiences no bottleneck on the journal side. These also feature good endurance characteristics. I would think that higher capacities are hard to justify as journals -----Original Message----- From: ceph-users [mailto:ceph-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Heath Albritton Sent: Friday, November 18, 2016 9:19 AM To: ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Intel P3700 SSD for journals I've used the 400GB unit extensively for almost 18 months, one per six drives. They've performed flawlessly. In practice, journals will typically be quite small relative to the total capacity of the SSD. As such, there will be plenty of room for wear leveling. If there was some concern, one could over-provision them even more than they already are. -H > On Nov 18, 2016, at 05:43, William Josefsson <william.josefson@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi list, I wonder if there is anyone who have experience with Intel > P3700 SSD drives as Journals, and can share their experience? > > I was thinking of using the P3700 SSD 400GB as journal in my ceph > deployment.
