The storage node does not use write cache to store data so writes are committed to disk immediately. All data is protected in the file system by a RAID-10 volume and spare storage configuration including metadata. The entire SUT is protected with redundant power supplies, both storage node and clients. Storage node have two SATA device for OS redundancy.
The solution is a configuration by Supermicro with managing metadata for the file system. SYS-220U-TNR storage node is the new generation of all-flash SuperServer deliver a massive improvement in storage performance.
