what volume of writes per day, in MB, should you be expecting on a top of rack switch, though?

does it have some logging features you can't turn off? using as an example a cisco nexus 3064 I have sitting around here, all of the logging is done to an off-system destination over the network.

I can think of very few legitimate or sound network engineering practices that would require 1U, mostly layer-2 feature set switches to be writing anything more than a few dozen KB per day to their internal storage.

I can't say that I'm surprised to hear of something failing in a new and unique way in an edgecore switch, since the company (Accton) has also released a real dumpster fire of a series of outdoor radios in their Ignitenet brand, which have a spectacular failure rate.
