That's unfortunate; hopefully 2nd-gens will improve and open things up.
Some numbers:
- Commercial grid-style SAN is maybe £1.70 per usable GB
- Ceph cluster of about 1PB built on Dell hardware is maybe £1.25 per
usable GB
- Bare drives like WD RE4 3TB are about £0.21/GB (assuming 1/3rd
capacity ends up usable)
So if Ethernet hybrid drives could be 2x or 3x the price of standard
block, so cluster cost could be halved :)
It'd be interesting to know what £/GB (or $/GB) others have achieved
with their Ceph implementations.

Kinetic is interesting, but I think it's going to find more uptake

have
the strength to be useful underneath.
