You must average both write and write seek times in order to find the average seek time. Most of these ratings are given to you by the manufacturers. Generally a HDD will have an IOPS range of 55-180, while a SSD will have an IOPS from 3,000 – 40,000.

Why are AKS errors caused by Io saturation?

AKS has identified this issue as contributing significantly to the following common error / failure reports: The root-cause of this issue is resource starvation / saturation on the worker nodes. The trigger of the failures is IO overload of the worker node OS disks.

What causes SQL Server to have Io bottlenecks?

Many times IO delays are introduced by driver issues which are not related to the backend physical disk performance. This leads to finger pointing between DBA’s and Storage Admins as the DBA’s see slow perf and blame the disks and the storage admins say perf on the disks are great.

Where are Io delays coming from in SQL Server?

SQL Server is monitoring the IO’s at the application level, and perfmon gets us a bit further down the stack to where it plugs in after the Partition Manager, but still leaves some ambiguity as to where IO delays are coming from exactly.
