just a passing comment...

3TB disks are 7200rpm and suitable for nearline bulk storage (or desktop
use), not high performance database random access. you'd get way more IO
throughput with a raid10 array of 15k rpm SAS disks, maybe 10 x 600GB or
whatever, or with a suitable SSD configuration, although 3TB of SSD
might get expensive.
