    Hi, Simple question to the sample streaming process : In which blocksize does VSL read the samples from the mass storage drive, in 64 kB or 128 kB ? Thanx, Adorno

    I will guess that it will depends of the setting in the Directory manager ??

    Hi Martin,

    thanks for the info! So is it better to have a high IOPS for random 64kB read or a high general read rate?

    Cheers,

    I really cannot say, since I haven't had first hand experiences with more than a couple of SSD's. Currently, the Crucial m4 offering looks good to me. I know Paul is using one in his Macbook Pro, and is having great results with lots of VI's.
