Yes, but that appears to be if you're doing sequential reads. Works for a handful of use cases, but not most normal desktop or server workloads.

- dylan604 4y agoSounds ideal for large arrays for video post use. We used to string 16 drives together to get speeds of what a modern m.2 SSD can do as a single drive. Only, the arrays gave you the capacity to do useful things rather than the toy-like capacity of 2-4TB SSDs. Doubling the speed of spining rust might be interesting when building RAID-6 volumes for edit bays
- bradfa 4y agoBut even if in "normal server workloads" it's comparable to older drive you still get the benefit during things like RAID recovery where it very much will be sequential operations dominating. So it's an improvement which can really matter for unlikely but very critical server operations.
