I don't have any advice, but being a novice in this area,
I'd like to add some questions
o presumably not every file needs to be cached all the time,
so you could use a hybrid drive with flash memory on it. Why
don't people do this?
o what about using regular disks and having a PCIe card with
flash memory acting as cache?
o how about using a (small) number of SSDs as cache (say
with bcache http://bcache.evilpiepirate.org/)?
can anyone tell me the relative advantages?
thanks
Joe
