My first post to the list.

I want to store 20M of bounded FIFO queues (each queue has at most 50
items, 1KB each). Distribution: 80% of updates at 20% of queues.

Insertion rate: at most 5K per second, random; 50M per day.
Reading rate: at most 10K per second, each read reads all 50 items.
Once inserted items are not updated. Oldest at each queue is discarded so
that queue length <= 50.

How much hardware I might need? From my calculations I need at least 1000
HDDs assuming that seek time is at 7ms (high end). And that is unreal
number.

For this type of load (small random reads/writes) SSD seems to be a perfect
match.

I'm looking at the following configuration:
5 of OCZ 512GB Vertex 4 drives at 5 64GB RAM boxes.
Riak cluster with N=3.

I'm going for cheaper drives because I assume that Riak will allow me to
replace a node if one of disks suddenly dies.

How crazy is this configuration?
