Hey everyone, loving Ceph so far! 

We are looking to role out a Ceph cluster with all SSD's. Our application is 
around 30% writes and 70% reads random IO. The plan is to start with roughly 8 
servers with 8 800GB Intel DC S3500's per server. I wanted to get some input on 
the use of the DC S3500. Seeing that we are primarily a read environment, I was 
thinking we could easily get away with the S3500 instead of the S3700 but I am 
unsure? Obviously the price point of the S3500 is very attractive but if they 
start failing on us too soon, it might not be worth the savings. My largest 
concern is the journaling of Ceph, so maybe I could use the S3500's for the 
bulk of the data and utilize a S3700 for the journaling? 

I appreciate the input! 

Thanks All!
