and higher IOPs numbers give the marketing department the warm and fuzzies. Got it.
- mlyle 7y agoIt is a good metric because it is a measure of random access. Bigger requests are a mixed measure of sequential performance and random access (and you can basically infer the performance for any io size from the huge request bandwidth and the smallest reasonable IO IOPS)
