Abstract
Multi-channel HDDs (aka Dual Actuator) provide opportunities to increase throughput and performance in HDD deployments. In this presentation, the authors will review current Dual-actuator architectures and implementation scenarios in Linux environments, including performance impacts, deployment considerations.
Learning Objectives
Understanding current state of multi-channel HDD technologies,Deployment Scenarios in Linux that can leverage dual-actuator technology,Performance Expectations of dual-actuator HDDs in Linux deployment scenarios
