Subject: Re: Playing with SATA NCQ
Date: Sun, 29 May 2005 09:22:37 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <311601c9050529082248cb4c63@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4299D08E.2020706@dtbb.net>

Today's 7200 RPM IDE drives are in the ~70-80 ops/sec range for
full-stroke random reads or writes (assuming cache off for writes).

NCQ can usually turn 70-80 into 120-140 ops/sec, because of a decrease
in average seek distance and the near-elimination of rotational
latency.

If the array and filesystem is setup/tuned properly, these ops/sec
performance increases should translate directly into array performance
increases.
