:Spindle sync is an anachronism these days; asynchronous behaviour
:(write-behind in particular) is all the rage. You'd be hard-pressed to
:find drives that even support it anymore.
Woa! Say what? I think you are totally incorrect here Mike.
Spindle sync is not an anachronism. You can't get good RAID{0,2,3,4,5}
performance without it - for reading OR writing. It doesn't matter
so much for RAID{1,10}, but it matters a whole lot for something like
RAID-5 where the difference between a spindle-synced read or write
and a non-spindle-synched read or write can be upwards of 35%.
