Re: SSDs for data drives

Paul -

 That's extremely helpful, thanks.  I do have another cluster that uses Samsung SM863a just for journal (spinning disks for data).  Do you happen to have an opinion on those as well?

(But that really doesn't matter if it's for the full OSD and not as dedicated WAL/journal)

We got a cluster with a few hundred SanDisk Ultra II (discontinued, i believe) that was built on a budget.
Not the best disk but great value. They have been running since ~3 years now with very few failures and
okayish overall performance.

We also got a few clusters with a few hundred SanDisk Extreme Pro, but we are not yet sure about their
long-time durability as they are only ~9 months old (average of ~1000 write IOPS on each disk over that time).
Some of them report only 50-60% lifetime left.

For NVMe, the Intel NVMe 750 is still a great disk

Be carefuly to get these exact models. Seemingly similar disks might be just completely bad, for
example, the Samsung PM961 is just unusable for Ceph in our experience.

Depends on what you are looking for, SATA, SAS3 or NVMe?

I have very good experiences with these drives running with BlueStore in
them in SuperMicro machines:

- SATA: Samsung PM863a
- SATA: Intel S4500
- SAS: Samsung PM1633
- NVMe: Samsung PM963

Running WAL+DB+DATA with BlueStore on the same drives.
