A client has a storage requirement for an object database. The application is expected to
generate random I/O requests. The I/O profile is:
– 70% random reads
– 30% random writes
– Total host I/O per second is 20,000
– Required usable capacity is 35 TB
The client is concerned about cost, so RAID 5 (8+1) data protection will be used.
What is the minimum number of 300 GB 15K SAS drives needed to meet the client’s performance
and storage requirements, including hot spares drives?
