It would seem you're one of the countless we see here with hardware,
real or imaginary, who has no workload, or is seeking a workload for his
hardware. This is the wrong approach.
You need to approach this list with:
1. This is my workload
2. This is the hardware I currently have (suitable or not)
3. How do I best setup my storage to meet my workload requirements?
You're approaching this backwards.
