It would be unfortunate if their pricing model drove poor architectural decisions, but in this case that doesn't apply.

I suggested getting more storage by using the same number of nodes differently.

Ah, I mis-read your post, and was thinking you were suggesting more nodes rather than more disks. Sorry for that.

At any rate, I have quite a distaste for RAID-5, so I agree that it would be preferable to go with the higher RF instead.

Even more preferable to me would be to not use RAID-0, if FDB can just use multiple drive partitions as storage directly.

Yeah, JBOD is preferable to RAID if your workload supports it. Less overhead and less things to break.
