Running it on spinning rust is suboptimal, so, over here in murka: ~2TB of SATA SSD is under $300 1.6TB SAS SSD is ~$600 1.9 TB MVMe is ~600 and an 11TB U.2 NVMe is over $4K. Which one you can use depends on what connector you can free up in your hardware. If you only have a 2.5" NVMe slot, spool space is not cheap at all. > > ...

Your clients can stream data over the net at your LTO-whatever's full throughput, and you can't afford an 800 GB SSD? Interesting setup you have. -- Dmitri Maziuk <dmaz...@bmrb.wisc.edu> _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
