hi all, maybe to clarify a bit, e.g. https://indico.cern.ch/event/755842/contributions/3243386/attachments/1784159/2904041/2019-jcollet-openlab.pdf clearly shows that the db+wal disks are not saturated, but we are wondering what is really needed/acceptable wrt throughput and latency (eg is a 6gbps sata enough or is 12gbps sas needed); we are thinking combining 4 or 5 7.2k rpms disks with one ssd. similar question with the read-intensive: how much is actually written to the db+wal compared to the data disk? is that 1-to-1? do people see eg 1 DWPD on their db+wal devices? (i guess it depends;) if so, what kind of workload daily averages are this in terms of volume? thanks for pointing out the capacitor isue, something to defintely double check for the (cheaper) read intensive ssd. stijn On 10/4/19 7:29 PM, Vitaliy Filippov wrote: > WAL/DB isn't "read intensive".
