Yes, but I suppose it all depends on the needs of the server in question :)

In our case, with web servers, reads (i.e. opening websites,
downloading content) far outweighs writes (which are basically logs,
file uploads, and sessions being written to disk.

In case of forums (we have many clients with forums) reads & writes
are sometimes equal, but even then reads are still more common in our
case than writes.
