Performance Analysis of NVMe SSDs and their Implication on Real World Databases
summary
Hardware and software measurements use fio, blktrace and driver instrumentation on a Samsung XS1715 NVMe, a Samsung A43 Pro SATA SSD and a 15K HDD to quantify gains: NVMe hits ~750k IOPS for 4KB random reads and ~3 GB/s sequential, cuts end-to-end software overhead from ~28% (SATA SSD) to ~8% with driver cost ~0.6%, and translates to application speedups of ~3.5x MySQL and up to 8.5x Cassandra using HammerDB and YCSB over 10GbE.
