Thread: PostgreSQL and local HDD

Hello,
Why is the PostgreSQL database slow when it is on the server's hard drive? My servers are HPE ProLiant DL380p G8
and HPEProLiant DL380 G9. 

Does the database have to be on a storage like EMC or QNAP?

Does PostgreSQL have an option to increase speed?


Thank you.

Faster storage can only help but I would start by discarding functional overhead.

Functional overhead?

I mean inefficient design, which won't be solved by changing the storage.

It actually has that, but you'll have to sacrifice some safety.
