I think that comparing Ceph on 7.2k rpm SATA disks against iSCSI on 15k rpm SAS disks is not fair. The random access times of 15k SAS disks are hugely better compared to 7.2k SATA disks. What would be far more interesting is to compare Ceph against iSCSI with identical disks. Regards Christian -- Dipl.-Inf.
