I recently sat through a presentation where an analyst said that 802.11n wouldn’t be that successful because it offers on the order of 100Mbit/sec., and “no one needs that kind of performance.” I ...
IOPS, latency and throughput/bandwidth are all interconnected. IOPS = (Throughput / Block Size) * 1024 Throughput in MBps = (IOPS * Block Size) / 1024 I understand how to convert IOPS to throughput ...
In order to speak more clearly on the subject of real business throughput (not perceived, subjective throughput), allow me to first run through a hypothetical scenario. You’re driving down a four-lane ...
Western Digital has presented a set of HDD design changes that focus on boosting I/O throughput without abandoning the standard 3.5-inch multi-platter format. Rather than relying on incremental gains ...
