Dear James,
I recently had the same question, but no definitive answer to offer.
I guess that throughput/access time requirements depend on:
a) document size (the larger the document, the more the throughput might
be important)
b) how many documents you want to actually read (only a few to display
them, or all to do some processing with them)
If you want to read many documents, seek time becomes more
important
My best guess is that access time is more important for you, unless you
store only very few very large documents.
Of course you should look for native command queuing discs (the disc may
reorder the read commands to reduce seek time).
Another option (if your memory requirements are not so huge) : Solid state
disk, see e.g.
http://techreport.com/reviews/2006q1/gigabyte-iram/index.x?pg=7
The second version shall support up to 16Gbyte, see

Best regards,
Wolfgang

RE: Best Lucene hardware
Hi,
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, most of that has to do with indexing,
whereas I am concerned with retrieval speed. And, there really isn't
enough
information there to make good comparisons -- there are several completely
different systems with no way to pin down what the important changes in
hardware are. But, thanks for the link!
Sincerely,
James
