@ -10,3 +10,19 @@ Here is those 2 types:
* [Replicated](xosan_replicated.md)
* [Disperse](xosan_disperse.md)
## Which mode to choose
In the vast majority of cases, **replicated is better**, because:
* it's almost ALWAYS faster
* it's easier to manage
* it's easier to grow
The only downside is that replicated will "waste" more space.
Using disperse makes sense only if:
* you have big HDDs and you want use the space at most
* you don't use database (or don't care about performances)
* you store big files and you don't need ultra fast data access
