Flash devices are generally required in HDD based configurations to boost write performance (WAL) and metadata operations (MDB) which would otherwise be handled by HDDs which have low IOPS performance.
RAM/Device Ratio:

10
Our general recommendation is to have a 1:1 ratio where a GB of RAM is added to the server for each TB of usable capacity. For most backup and archive configurations the required RAM requirements are lower and a reduced ratio may be used.
Metadata/Data Ratio:

For HDD based systems the mirrored SSD cache capacity should be between 2% and 4% of the total HDD capacity.
