Things are configurable in std.stdio. But most people will just use the default settings. The default settings should be optimized for SSDs, not spinning drives.
That would be unwise - as HDDs are much slower (and still much more common), optimizing for SSDs at the expense of HDD performance will cause overall performance to be much worse until HDDs become rare.
I mean, assuming that such optimizations aren't just theoretical.
