Re: Disabling write cache on SATA HDDs reduces write latency 7 times

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Mixture of Toshiba drivers here all enterprise rated, cache 128 - 256MB

I have tried turning the write cache on and off a few times across the cluster using hdparm, ever time can see a huge change from on (40ms average) to off (1-3ms average)

Vitaliy what drives are you using? Maybe a particular brand / firmware?

        It seems no, I've just tested it on another small cluster with HDDs
only - 
        no change
