Infinite disk

Read Original

This article analyzes how hardware performance latencies, from CPU caches to disk seeks, influence system architecture. It explains that the significant difference between network round-trip times and disk seek latencies makes disaggregated storage feasible, creating the illusion of 'infinite' local disk. The piece then tracks technological advances in SSDs, NVRAM, and low-latency networking (like RDMA) that are pushing this concept even further.
