We are planning a Jewel filestore based cluster for a performance sensitive healthcare client, and the conservative OSD choice is Samsung SM863A. I am going to put an 8GB Areca HBA in front of it to cache small metadata operations, but was wondering if anyone has seen a positive impact from also using PCIe journals (e.g. Intel P3700 or even the older 910 series) in front of such SSDs? Thanks for any info you can share. -- Alex Gorbachev Storcium _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
