Is erlang mnesia db suitable to save millions or more records?

I wonder whether mnesia db is suitable to save million or more records or not?

  1. because mnesia's storage place has only 3, ram, disc_only, disc. It is not possible to save part of records in ram. I suspect that if I select disc for storage and record's quantity is huge, ram buffer efficiency is very low, and if disc_only for storage and speed is also slow.

So in every situation, it is not correct choice to save many record, is it correct?
