Hi,

I'm designing a ceph cluster for our VFX studio. We have about 32 artists seats and I need high sequential read and write speeds, not so much IOPS. I will use whatever it takes to put the best possible hardware inside each node, but I have to decide now if I go with many nodes with fewer disks or viceversa, for the same number of total drives.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
