Isn't that enterprise HDD going to be slower for a cloud instance though?
- Hamuko 3y agoSSDs are definitely not "cost-effective" for 10 TB if that's what you're suggesting.
- dehrmann 3y agoIt looks like HDD prices are at ~40% of SSD prices (new drives, not cloud-hosted). SSDs are starting to make sense for more things, now.
- ComputerGuru 3y agoThat comparison only holds for the smaller sizes.
- dehrmann 3y agoFor an 8 TB SSD and 18 TB HDD, it's more like 3x.
- princevegeta89 3y agoI mean to say, for general self-hosting services and apps, HDDs seem to have that performance problem and latency, which could lead to a negative experience?
- yread 3y agoUnless you need the performance. if you compare a single ssd to a raid 6 with 5+ drives to lower the seek times the ssd will always come on top
