This experiment targets recovery -- how quickly can we read 8MB segments from the disk?
The result is boring -TODO- The data is boring since most drives appear to saturate 3Gbps SATA, though I think the Mushkin drive is quite a bit slower so far- all disks can average between 260 and 270 MB/s (which is apparently about all we can expect of our 3Gbps SATA ports).
-TODO- 8MB latency may be interesting. If we have lots of nodes, we may only read a few segments. Hopefully that offers just as good bandwidth as reading a lot of them.
