# Hardware examples and throughput
## Introduction
This project is heavily reliant on the hardware that you run it on. The most
common complaint is "The cache is slow" and in nearly every case this can be
attributed to the hardware that the cache is being run on.
The following hardware specifications are real-world examples of hardware that
has been used to run this project, so you can get an idea of the type of
performance that you can expect from varying hardware setups.
## High Capacity
24 CPU core, 140GB memory, 8 x Samsung 850 Pro SSD in RAID6
Served ~2,800 uniques, peaking at 10Gbps
## Medium capacity
24 CPU core, 180GB memory, 5 x 900GB 15K SAS drives, plus 180GB SSD (lvmcache)
Served ~250 uniques, peaking at 1.8Gbps
## Low capacity
CPU: Quad-core AMD Phenom X4 II 945 (old!)
MEM: 16GB DDR3
Disk: 2x2TB RAID0 + 512MB SSD LVM Cache.
Without the LVM Cache the system will push around 300-400mb/s, with the SSD Cache pushing around 800-900mb/s
