QLC, man.  QLC.  That said, I hope you're going to use that single NVMe SSD for at least the index pool.  Is this a chassis with universal slots, or is that NVMe device maybe M.2 or rear-cage?

Small objects are the devil of any object storage system.

Nothing nonstandard about that, though your 1TB objects presumably are going to be MPU.  Having the .buckets.non-ec pool on HDD with objects that large might be really slow to assemble them, you might need to increase timeouts but I'm speculating.

Spinners gotta spin.  They're a false economy.

With that workload you *could* increase that to like 64KB, but I don't think it'd gain you much.

`ceph df`
`ceph osd dump | grep pool`

So we can see what's going on HDD and what's on NVMe.
