There is one FAQ on: [http://aerospike.com/docs/guide/FAQ.html](http://aerospike.com/docs/guide/FAQ.html) says: Can I store data on hard disk rather than SSD? No. The Aerospike database is intended to be a high performance, low-latency database. Because of this, the physical limitations of rotational disks add an unacceptable amount of latency to the data. This FAQ is really confused for Configurations:
1. Pure HDD based
2. In-Memory + HDD Persistence.
I believe this FAQ is for Configuration 1, instead of Configuration 2.

You are correct. Team will work on fixing FAQ separating the two cases.
