innodb_buffer_pool_size – This setting allocates system memory as a data
cache for your database. If you have large chunks of data, increase this
value. Take note of the RAM required to run other system resources.
innodb_io_capacity – This variable sets the rate for input/output
from your storage device. This is directly related to the type and
speed of your storage drive. A 5400-rpm HDD will have a much
lower capacity than a high-end SSD or Intel Optane. You can adjust
this value to better match your hardware.
