Xray Storage Recommendations

Xray requires SSD storage. Avoid NFS due to I/O bottlenecks. Local storage does not require replication in HA deployments.

Use SSD Storage

Use SSD storage for Xray to achieve better performance. NFS is not recommended because Xray is a disk I/O-intensive service — a slow NFS server causes I/O bottlenecks, and NFS is primarily designed for storage replication rather than high-throughput local access.

Local Storage in HA Deployments

Xray stores node-specific files, such as configuration and temporary files, to disk. These files are used exclusively by Xray and are not shared with other services. Because the local storage used for Xray services is temporary, it does not require replication between nodes in a multi-node High Availability deployment.
