NVMe SSDs aren't so large unfortunately.

a 1U server has capacity for 8 drives, we used 2 slots for the OS (RAID1), 2 slots for the WAL volume (2 slots) leaving only 4 slots in RAID10.

So I'm already cheating a little and claiming WAL storage was part of total storage.

Shouldn't you try to get something with PCIe bifurcation in this case?

I doubt you're saturating the PCIe bus bandwidth on any of them?

I imagine your DB is extremely high performance, though!
