STORAGE: benchmarks results (diskinfo)

[vermaden]

I would like to start a thread to compare performance of various storage sollutions using FreeBSD diskinfo(8) tool.

I also encourage to post results of other benchamrking tools.

Here are mine results for the start:

Kingston DT100 16GB (pendrive):

# diskinfo -c -t /dev/da0
/dev/da0
	512         	# sectorsize
	16131293184 	# mediasize in bytes (15G)
	31506432    	# mediasize in sectors
	1961        	# Cylinders according to firmware.
	255         	# Heads according to firmware.
	63          	# Sectors according to firmware.

I/O command overhead:
	time to read 10MB block      0.617194 sec	=    0.030 msec/sector
	time to read 20480 sectors  15.450024 sec	=    0.754 msec/sector
	calculated command overhead			=    0.724 msec/sector

Seek times:
