Bluestore/RocksDB will only put the next level up size of DB on flash if the whole size will fit.
These sizes are roughly 3GB,30GB,300GB. Anything in-between those sizes are pointless. Only ~3GB of SSD will ever be used out of a
28GB partition. Likewise a 240GB partition is also pointless as only ~30GB will be used.

I'm currently running 30GB partitions on my cluster with a mix of 6,8,10TB disks. The 10TB's are about 75% full and use around 14GB,
this is on mainly 3x Replica RBD(4MB objects)
