Some more details: dd, with block size 512b ------------------------ raw spindle : 143 writeboost Type 0: 137 writeboost Type 1: 130 dd, with block size 4k ---------------------- raw spindle : 31 writeboost Type 0: 29 writeboost Type 1: 81 dd, with block size 64m ----------------------- raw spindle : 8.9 writeboost Type 0: 32 writeboost Type 1: 72 So maybe it's just volume of IO that's causing the problem?
