Hi team, I'm planning to invest in hardware for a PoC and I would like your
feedback before the purchase:

The goal is to deploy a *16TB* storage cluster, with *3 replicas* thus *3
nodes*.

System configuration: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cfDpDx ($400 USD per
node)

Some notes about the configuration:

   - 4-core processor for 4 OSD daemons
   - 8GB RAM for the first 4TB of storage, that will increase to 16GB of
   RAM when 16TB of storage.
   - Motherboard:
   - 4 x SATA 6 Gb/s (one per each OSD disk)
      - 2 x PCI-E x1 Slots (1 will be used for an additional Gigabit
      Ethernet)
      - 1 x M.2 Slots for the host OS
      - Ram can increase up-to 32 GB, and another SATA 6b/s controller can
      be added on PCI-E x1 for growth up to *32TB*

As noted, the plan is to deploy nodes with *4TB* and gradually add *12TB* as
needed, memory also should be increased to *16GB* after *8TB* threshold.
Edit
Questions to validate before the purchase

1. Does the hardware components make sense for the *16TB* growth projection?

2. Is it easy to gradually add more capacity to each node (*4TB* each time
per node)?
Thanks for your support!
