Any plans for adding SAN / additional storage space? It'd be nice to have 20GB SSD + 1TB non-SSD.

It is one of our most up-voted features and we will begin building out storage solutions this month now that our SSD/RAM upgrades are finished.

We are still deciding whether to roll out first some sort of block/tiered NFS storage that can be mounted or something API driven like S3, so feedback is welcome.

Unless it's HA-NFS, which is very difficult, I'd say S3-like.

I'm about to sign up for the 2GB box since my 512MB VPS at Linode isn't enough memory to really make Play framework fly and upgrading gets very expensive fast.
