Hi,

I have been asked, which one of the two I would chose for two MDS 
servers (active/passive). Whether I would like to have SSDs, maybe two 
(mirrored) in both servers and DRDB for synching, or a RAID controller 
that has a 15K disks. I have not done benchmarks on this topic myself 
and would like to ask if anyone has an idea or numbers? The cluster will 
be pretty small, about 50 clients.


Regards, Michael
