Not sure what you mean... there are quite a few data storage & processing tools out there that use a log-structured on-disk storage that were designed to read/write sequentially. These could potentially take full advantage of these instances.
Many other solution requiring random IO is indeed a fact, but I still think there are systems that could benefit.
- corresation 14y agoI mean that no one ever would configure 24 disks as RAID-0 -- the probability of a data-loss failure (which may not be a problem from the data-loss side, but is from the process continuity side) becomes incredibly high. Best case most people would arrange it as RAID-10, instantly dropping the performance by half.
- zwily 14y agoIf the use case is to only use the instance for several hours or days for some intense processing, then RAID-0 over 24 disks is probably just fine.
