HI, I use PostgreSQL basically as a data warehouse to store all the genetic data that our lab generates. The only person that accesses the database is myself and therefore I've had it housed on my workstation in my office up till now. However, it's getting time to move it to bigger hardware. I currently have a server that is basically only storing backup images of all our other workstations so I'm going to move my database onto it. The server looks like this: Windows Server Enterprise 2008 R2 64-bit, AMD 2350 quad-core x2, 32GB RAM. For my purposes the CPUs and RAM are fine. I currently have an Adaptec 52445+BBU controller that has the OS (4 drive RAID5), FTP (4 drive RAID5) and two backup arrays (8 drive each RAID0). The backup arrays are in a 16 drive external enclosure through an expander so I actually have 16 ports free on the 52445 card. I plan to remove 3 of the drives from my backup arrays to make room for 3 - 73GB 15k.5 drives (re-purposed from my workstation). Two 16 drive enclosures with SAS2 expanders just arrived as well as 36 Seagate 15k.7 300GB drives (ST3300657SS). I also intend on getting an Adaptec 6445 controller with the flash module when it becomes available in about a month or two. I already have several Adaptec cards so I'd prefer to stick with them. Here's the way I was planning using the new hardware: xlog & wal: 3 - 73G 15k.5 RAID1+hot spare in enclosure A on 52445 controller data: 22 - 300G 15k.7 RAID10 enclosure B&C on 6445 controller indexes: 8 - 300G 15k.7 RAID10 enclosure C on 6445 controller 2 - 300G 15k.7 as hot spares enclosure C 4 spare 15k.7 for on the shelf With this configuration I figure I'll have ~3TB for my main data tables and 1TB for indexes. Right now my database is 500GB total. The 3:1 split reflects my current table structure and what I foresee coming down the road in terms of new data. So my questions are 1) am I'm crazy for doing this, 2) would you change anything and 3) is it acceptable to put the xlog & wal (and perhaps tmp filespace) on a different controller than everything else? Please keep in mind I'm a geneticist who happens to know a little bit about bioinformatics and not the reverse. :-) Thanks!
