SSD have a quite noticeable per-write latency. The reason why you do not notice it with Windows or Linux is that those may use NCQ (queueing of concurrent disk I/O activities) and will often use larger blocks... The latency only grows a bit while blocks grow a lot, so writing e.g. the FAT or directory meta data in units of 512 bytes without pooling can be still slow in operating systems like DOS depending on your caching :-) Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
