Re: Hammer - block size
:I've been reading the DF mail archives the last few days about Hammer, and
:it looks very good!
:
:Today I saw a review of 1TB hard drives, and there are some interesting
:charts on sequential I/O performance showing that the "sweet spot" is
:128K, across many vendors' drives:

:On some drives, there is not much difference: 110MB/s for 64K vs 120MB/s
:for 128K. But with other drives (WD), the difference is 105MB/s for 64K
:vs 185MB/s for 128K.
:..
:Good luck with your 2.0 release!
:Jim
Damn. Look at those prices! So nice! We're going to be drowning
in multi-terrabyte drives by mid-next-year, for sure.
I wouldn't worry too much about the numbers, the sequential
performance is almost irrelevant. It's the random read and write
performance that matters the most.
