Test the hard drive’s performance

When installed to a cluster, the application’s performance and stability depends on the hard drive’s speed. A slow hard drive increases the request latency in the cluster and can cause it to become unstable. We suggest that you use the fio tool to test the hard drive’s speed.

Install and run fio to test your hard drive:

apt install fio
mkdir test-data
fio --rw=write --ioengine=sync --fdatasync=1 --directory=test-data --size=100m --bs=2300 --name=mytest

As a result, the fdatasync parameter in the data section will be equal to the 99.00th percentile. For the storage to be fast enough, the 99.00th percentile must be less than 10 ms. For example, a value of 2000 would mean a delay of 2 ms.
Please note that the minimum write IOPS must meet the system requirements specified in the System requirements for BRIX On-Premises article.
