Hello, if you would choose Seagate MACH.2 2X14 drives, you would get much better throughput as well as density. Your RAM could be a bit on the lower end, and for the MACH.2 it definitively would be to low.
You need dedicated metadata drives for S3 or MDS as well. Choose blazing fast NVMe with low capacity and put them in each server. > How many nodes should be deployed in order to achieve a minimum of 50GB/s, if possible, with the above hardware setting? About 50 Nodes could be able to deliver it, but strongly depends on many more factors. > How many Cephfs MDS are required? (suppose 1MB request size), and how many clients are needed for reach a total of 50GB/s? MDS needs to be scaled more to the number of files than on the requests. Of course, the more writes you want to do, the more load they get as well. Just colocate them on the Servers and you are good to scale the active number to your liking. > From the perspective of getting the maximum bandwidth, which one should i choose, CephFS or Ceph S3? Choose what's best for your application / use case scenario. -- Martin Verges Managing director Mobile: +49 174 9335695 | Chat: https://t.me/MartinVerges croit GmbH, Freseniusstr. 31h, 81247 Munich CEO: Martin Verges - VAT-ID: DE310638492 Com. register: Amtsgericht Munich HRB 231263 Web: https://croit.io | YouTube: https://goo.gl/PGE1Bx On Thu, 21 Oct 2021 at 18:24, huxia...@horebdata.cn <huxia...@horebdata.cn> wrote: > Dear Cephers, > > I am thinking of designing a cephfs or S3 cluster, with a target to > achieve a minimum of 50GB/s (write) bandwidth.
