SeaweedFS "is a fast distributed storage system for blobs, objects, files, and data lake, for billions of files! Blob store has O(1) disk seek..." - this, combined with the fact that it is a mature and proven piece of software, was enough for me to give it a try. The result? Excellent. The I/O and CPU load on my media server dropped drastically, making SeaweedFS an incredibly suitable solution. Furthermore, some of its features (like the ability to run a filer.sync) allow for efficient and fast replication to other storage, another host, or... anything else.
