Lowest utilization was 70% over night, but i'll check this
evening/weekend. Also that 'stat...' is running.

What, in your opinion, would be better for permormance?

- Having 3 servers and RAID10 (with conventional disks)
- Having 3 additional servers with 4 hdds (JBOD) each (distribute
replicate, replica 3)
- SSDs? (would be quite expensive to reach the storage amount we have
at the moment)

Just curious. It seems we'll have to adjust our setup during winter anyway :-)

Thanx again :-)
