(Thanks, Postgres and pgbackrest! Easy recovery.) We're planning to move to a cloud service at the end of the year, so bad timing on this. We didn't want to buy any more hardware, but now it looks like we have to. I followed the discussions about SSD drives when they were first becoming mainstream; at that time, the Intel devices were king. Can anyone recommend what's a good SSD configuration these days? I don't think we want to buy a new server with spinning disks. We're replacing: 8 core (Intel) 48GB memory 12-drive 7200 RPM 500GB RAID1 (2 disks, OS and WAL log) RAID10 (8 disks, postgres data dir) 2 spares Ubuntu 16.04 Postgres 9.6 The current system peaks at about 7000 TPS from pgbench.
