There does Alfresco store all its documents and attachments?

[gregorywest]

I have a server I am running Alfresco on.  This server has two RAID 1 drive sets, one set is 200GB SSD drives, and the other set is 1TB SATA drives.   What I want to do is have Tomcat, PostgreSQL, etc on the SSD drives, and all the attached/embedded PDF files that are stored in the Alfresco server on the 1TB drive.

The reason for this configuration should be pretty simple, where as I want the speed for moving around in Alfresco and finding the files (PDF, CAD, CAM) I would like the files themselves on something less expensive.  I will sacrifice the speed at accessing the files over the cost of having a huge amount of disc space available.

The binary content is stored in the alf_data directory ("content store"). You can configure the location when setting-up your system.

Here are a few links to get you started:

I'm sure you can find other useful references.
