Server Sata
Posted on Wednesday, December 9, 2009 in Uncategorized
Is a USB memory key faster than an average SATA 300 hard drive?
So lets say you have close to 500,000 small files (2-4Kb image thumbnails) on a server. You have a website that will display 200 or so thumbnails on one page and approximately 10,000 views of these pages on any given day. So if you can do the math you likely have several people at any one moment trying to load 200+ thumbnails.
Would moving these thumbnails to a usb memory key offer a speed increase? Seek times on these flash memory sticks are incredibly fast compared to SATA drives but then you're confined by the USB bus speed.
Opinions and experiences?
With USB 2.0 the transfer speed is up to 480 MBps. ~
About 3 times the max speed of a HDD
