Hi folks,
Does anyone have any experience with the newish HGST He8 8TB Helium
filled HDDs? Storagereview looked at them here:

I'm torn as to the lower read performance shown there than e.g. the
He6 or Seagate

Argh!
That's what you
Hey Christian,
Thanks, I haven't caught up with my ceph-users backlog from last week
yet so hadn't noticed that thread (SMR drives are something I was
thinking about for a DR cluster and long term archival pool behind
rgw). But note that the He8 drives are not SMR.

I've benchmarked it and found it has about exactly the same performance
profile as the He6. Compared to the Seagate 6TB it draws much less
power (almo

That's consistent with t
Hi,
I have just expand our ceph-cluster (7 nodes) with one 8TB HGST (change
from 4TB to 8TB) on each node (and 11 4TB HGST).
But I have set the primary affinity to 0 for the 8 TB-disks... in this
case my performance values are not 8-TB-disk related.
