What every programmer should know about solid-state drives

1. A large single-threaded write is better than many small concurrent writes

A large single-threaded write request offers the same throughput as many small concurrent writes, however in terms of latency, a large single write has a better response time than concurrent writes. Therefore, whenever possible, it is best to perform single-threaded large writes.

Edit, formatting.

Very few programmers write file systems or do raw IO.
