Right, it depends on what the non-volatile disks are, and what percentage of traffic goes on them. If they are SSDs, odds are that they can do just fine without RAM backing. Another option that might be more attractive is to look at e.g. bcache (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcache <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcache>). — leif
