Excellent work up there, Napalm.


EBL
Who refuses to accept the math? He used 5% of the drive and got 7.7, which is equal to a full raptor. By your "math" you said it will be 6.2 when using 25% of the drive. So yes your setup would give you 9-10ms and would be slower than the raptor, like I said.

@ Napalm Could you do an IOPS benchmark for both slices on the 6400s?
