Data storage

I want to know what is the maximum capacity for storing in each bucket. I want to have two DB servers, each one with a maximum storage of 300GB. I know that in-memory database will be very expensive for me, because I will need to purchase many servers with lots of memory.
You can bucket can be as large as the size of the persistent storage (hard disk, SSD, fusionIO, etc.) you have available in your server. Couchbase provides a caching layer that allows it to serve data with sub millisecond latencies. We advise our users to be able to fit their working sets into memory. This means that if during peak hours you are have 10GB of your data being accessed, then you only need 10G of memory even if your server contains 300GB of data.
