The storage for the system disk should be as fast as possible. RAID over SATA SSDs is fine, NVMe is better; the write load for this is not especially high, so ‘Mixed Use’ SSDs are very suitable. IOPS level is in the order of 1k, but is latency-sensitive (aim for sub-0.5ms 95% of the time, and sub-0.2ms on average). When When paritioning, allow at least 2xRAM+16GB for the root volume (so with 32GB RAM, allocate 80GB). If /var is mounted separately, allow at least 1.5x RAM for this volume; in this case root can be reduced accordingly. Specifically, the RDBMS will preallocate at least 10% of RAM in /var/lib/mysql for InnoDB logs in addition to actual data stored, so systems with large amounts of memory must have corresponding disk space.
