Subject: 10K vs 15k rpm for analytics
Date: Tue, 02 Mar 2010 15:42:37 -0500
Message-ID: <cone.1267562557.293175.32557.1000@shelca> (raw)

Anyone has any experience doing analytics with postgres. In particular if 
10K rpm drives are good enough vs using 15K rpm, over 24 drives. Price 
difference is $3,000.

Rarely ever have more than 2 or 3 connections to the machine.

So far from what I have seen throughput is more important than TPS for the 
queries we do. Usually we end up doing sequential scans to do 
summaries/aggregates.
