Fran just can't take any criticism. She does realize she's on a
discussion board, right? That she is implicitly asking for our comments and perspective?
Did he ignore you?
No, I'm just dropping it. She doesn't seem to understand how SSDs actually function and isn't interested in what I have to say.
If each 60GB drive did ~100MB/s of sequential write (which should be about correct) then the cache drive and OS drive can each only do 100MB/s. That's the best that each can do. That is not more efficient than a larger 120GB drive that can do 200MB/s sequential writes. Each individual task is done twice as fast and it wouldn't take any more time or be any less efficient if both the OS and cache partitions needed to write at the same time. Two 1 second tasks at 100MB/s completing in parallel on separate drives would be two 0.5 second tasks at 200MB/s on a single faster drive.
I just... that makes sense, right? Am I just not explaining this properly?
