We have old but still decent servers running our agency website (20000 users).
Our bottleneck database on SATA SSD's in SAS and in RAID 5 (2+2 IOPS for data write).
We would like to use 2x Optane 900P PCI-e x4 in PCI-e 2.0 @ software RAID1 as secondary drive (database only).
We don't need to boot from it.
Will it work without native NVMe support?
We need IOPS over bandwidth so loosing bit of bandwidth on PCI-e 2.0 x4 isn't end of the World.
Will I need some workaround or special drivers on Ubuntu?
Thank you very much.
