Re: Apache Cassandra 2.1.0 : cassandra-stress performance discrepancy between SSD and SATA drive

I have run a sysbench  file io test on my home PC and office PC. The result is  
given below. The result shows my office PC (with a SSD) is about 3 times more 
performant than my home PC (with a sata hard disk).

Hi Kevin,
   Thanks for the reply !
I do not know the exact brand of SSD in my office PC. But the SSD is  only 1 
year old,  and it is far from full. 

On both of office PC and home PC, I untared Apache Cassandra 2.1.0 and then 

run cassandra -f  with the default config,   then

run cassandra-stress 

Both PCs  have Oracle Java 1.7.0_40.

I have noticed there are some parameters for SSD in cassandra.yaml, which I 
have adjusted, but with no improvement. 


It  puzzles me Cassandra on  my office PC, with far better hardware,  could be 
100% slower than my home PC.

What SSD was it?  There are a lot of variability in terms of SSD
performance.

1.  Is it a new vs old SSD?  Old SSDs can become slower if they’re really
worn out

2.  was the office SSD near capacity holding other data?

3.  what models were they?

SSD != SSD… there is a massive amount of performance variability out there.

… also … more data is needed.  JDK versions the same?  cassandra versions
the same?
