Hi Team, I am looking for any benchmark reports Elastic may have which explains how SSD is better than NAS or SAN for Elastic Search . Also is it fine to SAN for Elastic Search over Fibre channels ? ---

All you need is a SSD ver NAS/SAN benchmark. Anything else is irrelevant. ---

Thanks for the response , Can you please share any findings which confirm not to use NAS/SAN? ---
