I think it's far more useful to remember ratios rather than exact numbers.

- imaginenore 10y agoRatios change too. PCIe / NVMe are better than SATA.
- hinkley 10y agoAn important reason we keep using strategies that have been abandoned in the past is because the ratios change over time. Ubiquity of SSDs brings to a close a time when getting data from another computer is faster than getting it from your own disk drive. A ratio that had previously been true, IIRC, not since a time in the eighties (see the Sprite system, process migration).
