I have a C6100 that I want to setup with Openstack.
The only decision holding me back right now is HDD / SSD choice. Should I get some inexpensive 2TB HGST drives that have been dumped on ebay recently? Or should I get 8 Intel DC S3500 drives? (Or should I get a mix of both?)
Does anyone one have any resources or suggestions for specific storage setup for Ceph with a limit of 3 drives per node? I was thinking of getting 2x2TB HGST drives per node to start, then adding a single SSD later. (Although, an all SSD Openstack Ceph cluster has a certain appeal to it.)
I don't need a ton of storage, as this is just for teaching myself how to setup Openstack.
This seems like a good deal to have an all SSD cluster. (With 8 or 12 drives)
