I second that. To me, it sounds like 2 different mind sets (a.k.a. belief systems) suggesting different behaviors. Unfortunately, the data set related to this, i could gather personally is not large enough to be telling. And my belief was - just as yours - supported by my inner pictures of what i think is going on inside the SSD. I did not conduct performance tests with and without alignment myself. But i recall reading about them, from users/admins of large zfs sites (on zfs.discuss mailing list) and also from a hardware store (was it backblaze, or something?), and later never questionned my belief. But who am i to speak about this? - I just gave my honest best opinion, that has been guiding my own efforts since years. But i dont care, if some people prefer disregarding such advice. Everyone does, what he thinks is best for them. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEumgd33HMGU/Wk4ZRe3aiXLdoWD0FAmPuIdQACgkQe3aiXLdo WD3X0Q/+MoTuqcbwovYXBiw4CanXDMiSAy71krXPrMHdADBWHP4Rl7rPHSGs3mRf r2WM0AdmUBDVbK+EsSqbw33BdW3HMDy0tZ7z9GTwOff9wD7RJbsoSMwtxI8yrgaX g/7N4YqsocKAzainWPXqFJTbZzTI3M2PjBoyuqBJ1JF+LSuLzUi6DK5Z0uySG6HD KMiGswVzqYpOtR8XYPl9Q7x4/3Zt3buCRRtaISkW+0MwrjRbDJdy/h7hKV7l27C7 6f1clZ8Glqv43/ZCCympORdrJT4ddxGNipd8/gEAC/DlgDfdt9wSTOy7eiQcnGIZ e4HrvteSqVX731ojjcF9pt1ujIqDzW28FxT1KnUozc/sc4JbrrbHzaDzH1PdqWEi TcXGcDxVzY2iQ9Q5/217F2UDWLE+5mWAgOhvmYHxCv5tImSfTaKPYKec5NvlhfOo UaYHEEGAVFpThGPlJXF/NbFQFo+Oyp/E6bYMSGTl2/nIU7K2s5QidF5EG9IY3Tcj DnMigUSWgpnWAbd8Z4muluCuEkPqJcYYTx/2YS13u2VgNPm8gbUS6CM+CIu607qv Rkl7wCa86hxegoslk+2klGDm3CGBku89ii5M6iIwPLTZjAPY3W7e6Olz3f9avogW l6gWv+wIHGLwE1o3ncq5Au5EJA037CnU3fnlbzUPOxmCq2qqA3E= =ELkf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
