存储性能指标--iops

IOPS是指单位时间内系统能处理的I/O请求数量，一般以每秒处理的I/O请求数量为单位。随机读写频繁的应用，如OLTP(Online Transaction Processing)，IOPS是关键衡量指标。

传统磁盘本质上是一种机械装置，转速通常为5400/7200/10K/15K rpm不等。磁盘完成一个I/O请求所花费的时间，由寻道时间、旋转延迟和数据传输时间三部分构成。寻道时间Tseek是指将磁头移动至正确的磁道上所需要的时间，其平均值一般在3~15ms。旋转延迟Trotation是指盘片旋转将请求数据所在扇区移至读写磁头下方所需要的时间，取决于磁盘转速，通常使用磁盘旋转一周所需时间的1/2表示，如，7200 rpm磁盘平均旋转延迟大约为60*1000/7200/2 = 4.17ms。数据传输时间Ttransfer是指传输所请求数据所需要的时间，它取决于数据传输率，目前IDE/ATA能达到133MB/s，SATA II可达到300MB/s的数据传输率。相对于寻道时间Tseek和旋转延迟Trotation，数据传输时间Ttransfer所占的比例往往是非常小的（取决于每次传输的数据量的大小，数据量大，则比例高，数据量小，则比例低）。

IOPS与读写负载特征息息相关。如果为顺序读写，则两次顺序读写之间的寻道时间和旋转时间可以忽略，因此顺序读写iops往往远大于随机读写iops。除此之外，iops也与存储的缓存、阵列的结构等有关。理论上可以计算出磁盘的最大随机IOPS，即IOPS = 1000 ms/ (Tseek + Troatation)，其值一般在100~200之间。

下面的图表非常清楚的表示了IOPS和读写特征的关系：(配置12块Maxtor250GB,7,200RPM的磁盘，512MBCache)

在磁盘阵列系统中， 磁盘数量越多， IOPS 值越大 ( 几乎呈线性增长 )

而且在同样的配置下，IOPS值随磁盘中数据量的增加而下降
