Ideally I want a scheme that is easy to expand by dropping an extra disk in each node. When all slots are full, add another node. </div><div><br></div><div>our current setup accesses a storage share via NFS, most read/write operations under load are under 4MB. There isn't any long sequential I/O. </div><div><br></div><div>Currently we have 2 nodes, I am specing the 3rd and adding necessary components to the existing. Budget around $20k for the upgrade. </div><div><div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
