Disk

Because Redis is designed to function in memory, it should not require excessive amounts of an additional disk at runtime. However, Redis should have enough storage space available to accommodate the configured persistence settings for durability. Using AOF will consume more disk than using snapshots, and using both will consume the most. Be sure to run Redis thoroughly in a lower environment for a period of time to accurately gauge how much disk space will be consumed by normal operations.
