So if I get you right and extrapolate with the replication documentation
page, can I say that on a 2 nodes cluster, with a bucket set to N=3 and
W=ALL, my writes would be written 3 times to disk? (and with no guarantee
to be on different nodes)?
thanks!

Hi, Louis-Philippe.
With a 2-node cluster and N=3, each value will be written to disk a total of
three times: twice on one node, once on the other. (The W setting has no effect
on the number of copies made or hosts used.) That behavior might seem a bit
strange, but it's a strange configuration
so would it make more sense to have the N=2?
I'd like to be on the safe side, after reading "There are no guarantees
that the three replicas will go to three separate physical nodes" in the
replication docs I started to worry about the reliability of a 2 nodes N=2
setting.
