Hi All,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This is kind of a survey if you will, so for this one it might be best if you responded directly to me and I’ll summarize the results next week.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Question 1 - do you use SSDs for data? If not - i.e. if you only use SSDs for metadata (as we currently do) - thanks, that’s all! If, however, you do use SSDs for data, please see Question 2.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Question 2 - what is the DWPD (daily writes per day) of the SSDs that you use for data?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Question 3 - is that different than the DWPD of the SSDs for metadata?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Question 4 - any pertinent information in regards to your answers above (i.e. if you’ve got a filesystem that data is uploaded to only once and never modified after that then that’s useful to know!)?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks…</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Kevin</div>
