It is a Toshiba 7200 RPM hard drive.

The data of MG04ACA400N on the raid controller is obviously different from
the single disk, especially the reading data, I did not expect this situation,
the data on the raid controller made me mistakenly think that the same applies
to HDD.

I will re-analyze the impact of this patch on the HDD later, please ignore it
for now.

Also, can I ask? If using fio or other tools, how should testing be done to get
more accurate and convincing data? Such as the perfectly sequential and random I/O
performance you mentioned above (fio's multi-threaded test does result in neither
perfectly sequential nor perfectly random, but single thread dispatch is too slow,
and cannot play the merge and sorting ability of elv).

Thanks,

Wang.
