Our concern comes in the write speed of the I/O to disk as the meta-data that Suricata creates is important to us. Does anyone have experience with this? I have listed some of our set up below. Are there any suggestions or known issues that I should be aware of.

My five cents to start with:
I would split the logging per event_type and only log what is needed not just everything as some logs depending on the traffic could be very very verbose- like dns/fileinfo on university network etc..
Also filter out if possible with a bpf(or on the mirror /tap)  what is not relevant too.
