I have disk specs on my 15K SAS drives that I am going to put in a RAID5
box with 8 drives.
I think I know how to get IOPS but how do I get a effective throughput
number?
IOPS = 1000 / (average read seek in millisec + latency)
[Correct me if I am messing it up]
But how do I get Mbits/sec numbers now? Someone said I multiply IOPS by 512
since that how big a block is but the reasoning seems a little shaky to me.
I need the Mbits/sec since that allows me to estimate what the size of the
links ought to be.
