| Aug 30, 2022 at 18:21 | comment | added | D.W.♦ | Bulat, I suggest revising your answer to improve it and provide more details on your calculation, and then marking comments as no longer needed once you have addressed them. I am skeptical of your price estimates. I can't find a 16 TB SSD for 1000. Price isn't always linear. | |
| Aug 30, 2022 at 18:20 | comment | added | D.W.♦ | Rather than back-and-forth in the comments, can I suggest you to edit things? Mascarpone, it sounds like you should be describing this in the question (we expect you to tell us what approaches you've considered and rejected - if you considered getting more RAM and rejected it because you can't see how to buy enough RAM, tell us that in the question, and tell us how much RAM you think you'd need). | |

| Aug 29, 2022 at 18:56 | comment | added | Bulat | @Mascarpone cheapest consumer-grade SSD I've seen was \$130 per 2 TB, so \$1000 per 16 TB. My uneducated guess is that both RAM and SSD with the largest capacity has a disproportionately larger price. Overall, I give an obvious suggestion to use a bit less SSDs or a bit more RAM, but of course, you may have other considerations, and anyway it's interesting problem on its own | |

| Aug 29, 2022 at 8:41 | comment | added | Mascarpone | @Bulat Can you show me where you can buy a 16tb SSD for 1000$? Looks like an unreasonably low price. | |
| Aug 29, 2022 at 8:30 | comment | added | Mascarpone | I assure you I'm not trying to save some money, the limits are dictated by the physical layout of the server. To get more ram, I need to wait for next generation DDR5 servers. | |
