Consider a pretty fast Hard Disk.
I know many writes to a single disk will always be slower than many reads. For instance time taken to complete 100 write operations is much longer than time to perform 100 reads.
But
- How much slower is multiple writes over multiple reads.
- Define "many". How many simultaneous writes/reads would I have to perform to notice a difference.
- Are Writes just as fast as Reads on SDD ?
- Will a few 100 read operations on a disk bog it down ? (I'm sure not otherwise we won't be capable of running large databases )
