Even more mental ... anyone using green drives in their lowest HD tier?
I've used them in a Nexsan with MAID capability, for nearline, and
they were fine for this purpose, but I wouldn't expect them to sit
happily in GPFS.
Happy to be confirmed wrong in my suspicions.
By "green" - do you mean the 5400rpm drives? Or something else
(spin-down?)?
If 5400rpm - I can't think of a reason they wouldn't perform to
expectations in GPFS. Naturally, you'd want to keep your metadata off them
- and use them for sequential activity if possible (put large files on
them).
