HDD with SSD journals. Our experience at this scale, ~900 OSDs over 33
hosts, is that it takes a fair percentage of PGs to be involved before
disks are saturated. At this point I'm mainly basing the observations
on backfill after reweight, as that is something we have been doing
periodically. We have some comparative rados bench and fio data but
have not yet graphed it.

No have not really looked into this yet, though the iDRAC certainly
can provide an indication. I think these are 45Watt TDP CPUs
(E5-2630v2) so would expect it to be less than 2X power draw increase
after factoring in 30+ spindles, RAM, etc.

Absolutely, actually I have a small list of outstanding Ceph doc
contributions that I am planning to work on during next couple of
weeks travel. Do you have a suggestion for an appropriate place in the
docs to add this?
