      @coliver That's not the only option though. Switching from 7.2 to 10k and 15k are two different options as much as getting ssds or nvme. I due believe strongly in going ssd first but at the time of the purchase, ssd wasn't considered. 90% of the workloads we have are running ok with good performance!

      But my point still stands. The only option is faster storage. SSDs at the current price point make the most sense but yes there are other options.

        @coliver I agree 🙂 just making a point that wasn't the only option

          @coliver Also to point out, it's only this 1 vm that needs performance like crazy for all the time writes. I know one idea is to increase the ram to the vm and add more to the RAMDISK to hopefully not saturate the buffer. But that is a limited option.

            Ubiquiti NVR does not require a lot of resources if you have fast enough drives. How many cameras are we talking about and what are your settings?

              @penguinwrangler yes it doesn't require that much but ohhhh you can get penalized on the storage. 25 Cameras.

                Which settings specifically? I know reducing some of the video settings will lessen the performance impact.

                  For all the vm's everything else is running pretty smoothly. This is the first time at any point I've felt a IOPS issue. Which is good 🙂 We are tiny so we only have about 25 VM's running.

                    I have done a 60 camera system at a huge hog farm with Ubiquiti. It is always the IOPS. I just broke mine up between 3 servers. Not the prettiest thing to do but that is what I had to do. Ran each with four 2TB drives in a RAID 10

                      Does the client have to log in to 3 different servers to switch between the cameras?

                        Our NVR is on AWS S3 as the storage so no problem there.

                          How would you be able to sustain it on AWS?

                            In what way do you mean?

                              @scottalanmiller if the nvr is in the cloud, that's gotta be a lot of data going over WAN.

                                Is a VM in AWS, that's why. Data is not going over WAN is in the same zone.

                                    With that in mind, if adding additional drives will add to the read/write performance, then I should be able to just add additional sas drives. I only have 8 bays for storage. 4 are being used.

                                      The video feeds are going up your WAN pipe to the NVR though. how much bandwidth does that take? And what kind of ingust charges are you getting from AWS for it?

                                        Injest is not a problem, outgoing is always what costs in AWS.

                                          @mike-davis Yes, but they are all tied to their ubiquiti account so if they go to video.ubnt.com it isn't too bad. Howerver, the farm is broken up into different sections, 3 primary sections, so it works pretty well for them.

                                            @krisleslie - I have not setup the software recently but last time I did about 6 months ago it did not run very well on Windows. After moving the install to Ubuntu it ran much better.
