Western Digital - WD5000LPLX-08ZNT - Maximum Writing Speed
How to find out the maximum writing speed of my hard disk?
✍: FYIcenter.com
The best way to find out the maximum writing speed of your hard disk is to run writing tests with a single large block:
If we run SQLIO with above options and different block sizes, we should be able to find the maximum writing speed. Here are test results on Western Digital - WD5000LPLX-08ZNT 465GB hard disk:
Throughput Throughput Latency Block Size MBs/sec IOs/sec ms ---------- ---------- ---------- ------- -b512 283.12 566.25 1 -b1024 317.47 317.47 2 -b2048 99.91 49.95 19 -b4096 94.02 23.50 42
As you can see, the maximum writing speed, 317.47 MBs/sec is reached with a block size of "-b1024", or 1 MB. If the block size is too small, the operating system is not feeding the hard disk with enough data. If the block size is too big, the operating system is not able to cache it properly.
In other orders, block size of 8 MB makes a perfect match between the operating system and the hard disk.
