IOPS VS MB/sec

IOPS = Input/Output operations per second


- Useful for random workloads
- Useless without latency figures!
I/O’s come in all shape and sizes
- Read or Write
- Big or Small
- Random or Sequential
MB/sec = Megabytes per second
- Useful for streaming/sequential workloads
- Read or Write matters
- Latency is less important
Almost all Real World workloads are mixed
- Read and write, random and sequential……..
Why we need to prove our results for Pure
Workloads ?
• It will give worse results for pure read and
write.
