Now that you've suggested that, it occurs to me that for an application
like this, the OP might be better doing his multiple slow streams to a
spool folder on SSD, and copying over to the big array of spinning rust
when each stream completes. 200 streams of 500MB is 100GB of data, so a
pair of slightly larger SSDs in RAID1 (or RAID10, to balance the reads
coming off) would do nicely as a spool area.
This might also be a good application for bcache, FlashCache or whatever.
Cheers,
John.
