Re: How SATA(HDD) and SSD disks works

Are you wanting to know how HDD and SSD is being used within the Nimble CASL filesystem?  I am a little unclear on the question.

When sizing a Nimble CS array, be sure to have ~10% Flash-to-Disk ratio between the SSD and HDD.  For example, an array with 100TB useable HDD space should have 10TB of SSD.  It's best to engage your local sales team to ensure the array is properly sized and configured.

10% is correct. On our CS500 it looks lite this:

HDD   15 TiB Usable (21.8 TiB / 24 TB Raw)    Cache   2.2 TiB Usable (2.2 TiB / 2.4 TB Raw)
