it used to be that you could get used SCSI hard drive arrays from companies for super cheap thats probably why. like getting em for 4 bucks a drive

this is longer ago, when those would have still been in prod. nope he just had eleventy different-size scsi drives, all small/bad

my personal moment of scsi shame was later on, when those hard drive arrays got cheap. i came *this close* to pulling the trigger on like 50x 9 gigabyte fibre channel drives. thank god i got "smart" and built a raid array out of 80 GB IDE instead, the electrical for FC would have broken my balls

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

depending on your storage array and how it utilizes the drives (block vs filesystem) you can efficiently use drives at a faster rate when at the block level by spreading the data across the platters of an array of jbods

i.e a file is 3 blocks rather than using a filesystem that would compact these 3 blocks to the 3 closest blocks within the filesystem your storage mechanism would store these 3 blocks on 3 separate platters of 3 separate drives thus reducing the seek/access time

by having more surface area you can get way more throughput on a drive vs a flat filesystem so if you have 3tb on a 3 platter array compared to 2tb on a 3 platter array the blocks are more condensed which increases seek/access time as more blocks exist within the same surface space

this is what i figured you'd say and it's not correct

there's a lot going on behind the scenes to optimize seek time, it's not this cut and dried

there are specific optimizations that have been designed to solve this exact problem

it depends what kind of storage array you're working with as each have their own optimizations but i was giving a tl;dr which is true for object-based sds
