This week, Mitch is back to talk about demystifying storage benchmarking for your workload on ZFS. He talks about why benchmarking storage seems pretty simple from the outside, but once you start digging into it, things can get pretty complex. Therefore, Mitch put together a demo to help users learn to benchmark for your specific workload, and not to get the biggest, most impressive numbers possible.
Check out Tom Lawrence's video from Lawrence Systems - he does a great intro into FIO and how it works, plus talks about IOPS vs throughput while giving different ways to benchmark your storage. His video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TASYaWTkg0U
