| Hmmm..........maybe TCQ is the difference then. This has existed in SCSI for a while, and that is all I use.
Your point about seek time vs transfer time is well taken; this is one of the reasons that I tend to favor large (64 KB or better) stripe sizes. Much below that, and the overhead eats you up. I believe that Anand tested with 128 KB stripes.
