Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The linked post reproduces Jeff Dean's "Numbers everyone should know" list of latency figures. One commenter cites it when answering a question about SSD versus HDD paging speed.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
"Numbers everyone should know", from Google's Jeff Dean, has part of the answer: http://julianhyde.blogspot.com/2010/11/numbers-everyone-shou... Where do SSDs fit in? Not sure, but I've heard SSD read latency can be as low as 30,000 ns (compare to HDD seek time of ~10,000,000 ns), while SDD sequential read rates are still within one order of magnitude of HDD read rates. YMMV depending on your access patterns. Lots o…
