Given that Yahoo has switched from using YTS to using ATS, it's
probably safe to say that they consider the performance to be,
at least, sufficient.

Generally, the recommendation is to not use RAID at all. If you are
running on bare-metal, just give all the disks you are intending to
use as cache directly to ATS. It can handle the balancing itself.

you can find more detail and pointers here:

CPU: when compiling with --enable-hwloc (highly recommended) much,
much better.

Memory: We've recently increased the RAM cache backing by an order
of magnitude. IIRC, that means that for your 300 G disk(s) ATS will
now use 3G RAM.

Disk: we spawn one thread for each disk spindle (all the more reason
to not use RAID and directly expose disks to ATS).

Generally we try to auto-scale with the underlying hardware. But
you can always make adjustments to fit your load and working set.

This is a user and developer mailing list of an open source project.
Many people here are volunteers, and, while others are paid to work
on ATS, they do that for paying customers. If you wish to become
their highly prioritized paying customer, you can look select from
