However, even with sequential writes, a large I/O size makes a huge difference in throughput. Ask the QFS folks about data capture applications. ;-)


I quantified the 'huge' this as such

60MB/s and 5ms per seek means that for a FS that requires a seek per I/O (QFS ?) the throughput at infinite I/O size will be at most 10% better than at 3MB I/O size.

For ZFS the equation does not stand because it does not incur a seek per I/O.

(This is less true with ATA disks that tend to have less buffering and much less sophisticated architectures. I'm not aware of any dual-processor ATA drives, for instance.)
