There are already some in depth discussions of storage and compute architectures on this forum, I'd have a look through those to see what others have opted for.
We're installing storage with a wedge of 15k drives for analysis with hopefully sufficient IO and a larger group of cheaper 2TB SATA drives for archiving. Data from the sequencer should in my opinion be directly to the machine provided by the supplier, and cleaned up after every run.
Keep in mind a dedicated network is important.

Storage Requirements
Our company is looking at purchasing an Illumina NGS. They have told our IT department they only need us to provide low cost storage to store the result data.
I know the sequencer comes with a workstation with about 4TB of data, but what I'm trying to figure out what type of storage they will need to store the data and perform analysis. Are there specific performance requirements (IOPS, Aggregate throughput) in order to run analysis of the data?
Is it better to have the instrument write the data directly to the same storage that you would run the analysis from or to seperate it out?
We already have an Isilon cluster however they say the cost is too high for storage so I was looking at alternative solutions but want to make sure we purchase something that will not cause performance issues.
Any feedback from others is greatly appreciated.

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
