Hi,

You may want to try using SSD disks vs SATA disks as you may not be able
to produce the raw I/O Operations a second to write this data.
Currently I am helping a client with handling about 500k and I a lot of
I/O Operations and there is no way I could even get close to
accomplishing this without SSD.

You should also be mindful of your retention as you are going to be
updating a lot of content, having a 3 year retention will make scaling
this size of metrics a lot harder.

I would mention what hardware I'm running but i'm on EC2 using HVM
instances due to Ephemeral Images being backed by SSD.
