    Server for 4000 videos 10 mb each

    I have a requirement for a server with a need to store 4000 entries each having a 10 mb video clip. No indication of popularity of site as this is a startup. Thats my headache part, normally for such a server would it be advisable using SCSI / SAS and expecting a huge bandwidth requirements? Or should it be done implemented as a cluster?

    Dear boonchuan,

    First of all its totally depends upon the budget. If you can afford cluster initially then you can go for it other wise i will prefer you to use SCSI/SAS along with high bandwidth.

    Just FYI, as a baseline, I know in practice our 150GB SATA WD Raptors (without NCQ) can push out ~25MB/s of very random read IO each. So, one of these by itself is enough to saturate a 200Mbps link.

    Whether you are able to saturate a gig-e from such a disk, would be left to cache - which depends on the amount of RAM you have and also the distribution of video popularity.
