Unfortunately many of us still have old SATA-only or SATA+SAS servers and it is often better to have more low-density old servers than fewer higher-density new servers (even if one can afford the latter). For the future the ideal for smaller organizations would be U.3 servers so one can buy new U.3 NVME devices and recycle existing SATA or SAS devices along them but given the current constraint on RAM availability I guess getting more servers at all will be rather hard in 2026. Besides there used to be the strange situation where (I guess because of the huge installed base of U.2 servers) U.2 models were somewhat more available (and cheaper) than U.3 ones or E3.S or E1.S ones but all this is moot again because of the RAM (etc.) availability issues. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
