HDD/SSD Performance With MDADM RAID, BCache On Linux 4.14

I think it would be interesting to test one more option of having external EXT4 journal on SSD. And how it performs with various journal size.

If there is sufficient interest I will repeat the tests with XFS and (native RAID) Btrfs in a future article.

Well, in a lot of those benches bcache's writeback mode was actually slower than the single HDD. It seems weird.

I found this a rather odd statement, from the first graph:
"Using the BCache writeback mode where data is written to the SSD and then asynchronously to the HDD still leaves a significant performance drop compared to using a single SATA 3.0 SSD."

HDD/SSD Performance With MDADM RAID, BCache On Linux 4.14
Phoronix: HDD/SSD Performance With MDADM RAID, BCache On Linux 4.14
It's been one year since last testing BCache as a means in the Linux kernel's block layer to allow an SSD to serve as a cache for a larger but slower rotational hard drive. So I have carried out some fresh benchmarks using the Linux 4.14 Git kernel to provide not only fresh benchmarks of BCache but also MDADM SSD RAID on Linux and some other fresh SSD/HDD benchmarks.
