That’s great and all, but if you’re creative there’s cheaper things you can do. Which to me that’s more fun anyways.
This is a great article but it definitely shows that you shouldn’t expect much
He’s not even reaching the IOPS of a single drive in his testing :(
I might have to find something else lol
I kinda want to put together a Ceph storage cluster — but I know it can take quite a bit to get good IOPS from ceph — good CPU’s and fast enterprise drives (but I want NVMe), oh and also good networking. But I mainly want to see what I can get in the IOPS department so sequential throughput, I’m not too worried about
How would you guys go about this? Any good hardware choices now that prices of things have come down a good bit in the last year or so?
