I agree here with Christopher; A SSD to handle the high IOPS requirements of real time data logging; combined with a scheduled transfer which can "move" the stored data in a linear large block copy operation to ordinary spindles, would be a cost effective hybrid solution. This of course is assuming the application can handle this separation of data; and I know nothing about Nfsen On Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 9:01 AM, Christopher Morrow <morrowc.lists@gmail.com

Since netflow processing is generally I/O bound, you may want to invest in 15K drives.
I had suggested off-list that perhaps primary storage as SSD was a better path, is there a reason to not do that? (with some larger storage on spinning-media for historical storage/query).
