Is there a reason there's comparatively little storage in your machines in relation to RAM or even CPUs?

Do your machines do compute heavy loads or something?

For a DB I'd expect a lot more storage per node



NVMe SSDs aren't so large unfortunately.

a 1U server has capacity for 8 drives, we used 2 slots for the OS (RAID1), 2 slots for the WAL volume (2 slots) leaving only 4 slots in RAID10.

So I'm already cheating a little and claiming WAL storage was part of total storage.


Shouldn't you try to get something with PCIe bifurcation in this case?

I doubt you're saturating the PCIe bus bandwidth on any of them?

I imagine your DB is extremely high performance, though!
