Actually, many SSD drives show much better performance for sequential write then random writes, so you may benefit from a separate drive for commit logs. On Mon, Sep 23, 2013 at 11:21 AM, Robert Coli rc...@eventbrite.com wrote: On Sun, Sep 22, 2013 at 4:02 PM, Shahryar Sedghi

Commit log and data separation on SSD

2013-09-22 Thread Shahryar Sedghi
This my first SSD experience. With normal disks we separate commit log from data. We have 2 SSDs dedicated to Cassandra I was wondering if we gain a better performance if we put commit log in one and data in another, or just use raid 0 to have both SSDs combined. Thanks in Advance Shahryar

Having commit log and data directory under one SSD works well. Though it depends a lot on the use case. I would measure the Disk utilization and see whether it can be on one. For most of the cases, it will work fine on one SSD. On Sun, Sep 22, 2013 at 4:02 PM, Shahryar Sedghi shsed...@gmail.com
