Performance in Intel IOMeter Fileserver & Webserver Patterns

The next two patterns make the tested drives do the duties of the disk subsystem of a typical file- or web-server.

As the diagram shows, Hitachi 7K60 is the best one more time at any request queue depth. It is even widening the gap as the queue depth increases. Seagate Momentus is good enough, as it’s better than the remaining drives until the request queue depth is 16. Hitachi 5K80 goes the third. Toshiba MK8025GAS looks poor in this test, losing to the others at small requests queue depths.

In order to rank the drives up in this test, I drew an additional diagram showing their integral performance ratings.

Emulation of a web-server (no write requests) brings no surprises: the same trio of leaders and Toshiba MK8025GAS in the very end of the race.

Integral performance ratings for the Webserver pattern:
