According to ChatGPT, a tape device is actually considered a "slow device". Even though I'm not sure it's that unpredictable. Maybe for most common use cases it is. I was under the impression that seeking a disk you can generally calculate well with 10ms? Again, it depends on the file system abstractions built on top, and then the cache and the current system load -- how many seeks will be required? |
