Cool solution! Almost like cache wrapping a hard disk.
I am curious as to why they can’t tolerate Disk failures though, and why they need to use the Google persistent storage rather than an attached SSD for their workload.
I would have expected a fault tolerant design with multiple copies of the data, so even if a single disk dies, who cares.
