You can get 150G S3520 for $104 on newegg. 480G is the smallest S3610 I can find, which is $526. (And yes, I have heard all the warnings about bigger drives being better for reliability due to wear leveling and performance due to the write/erase cycle and all that even though you don't need the space for the journal) Considering $/GB is slightly better for the S3520, is 1 S3610 still better than 4 S3520? (Ignoring that the S3520s occupy drive bays that could be used for OSDs, of course.) _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
