Hi,

we have choose the type of storage to associate to an Elasticsearch cluster.  
In particular, we wonder if there is any indication of the minimum characteristics that a certain type of storage must have; for example choosing SSD, are there minimum values ​​of certain parameters to be respected? For example something like: "for sas 10k sff".

Thanks in advance for your answers.  
Federica
