Storage disk iops and capacity design
Most of the storage engineers experienced with performance and latency issues, This starts from the infrastructure design and deployment phase which was not planned in-order to satisfy the future load. Here I have described the disk's types and it iops capacity which may help in better understanding for the future new deployments. Commonly used disk types in storage's: DiskType Expansion SATA Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, often abbreviated SATA or S-ATA FC Fiber Channel disks SAS Serial Attached SCSI SSD Solid-state disks IOPS: Input output per seconds, IOPS are used to define the performance of a given disk or disk array. RPM Max Iop’s 5.4K RPM 50-80 7.2K RPM 75-100 10K RPM 125-150 15K RPM 175-210 Two features which involves in iops calculation Average latency Average seek time Two type...
