Calculating Hard Disc performance<br />

IOPS – Input / Output Operations Per Second<br />

For hard drives we first need to calculate average<br />

latency:<br />

Avg Latency = (60 / RPMs / 2) * 1000<br />

We then take the average seek time for the drive<br />

<strong>and</strong> derive the IOPS:<br />

IOPS = 1000 / (avg latency + avg seek)
