> Magnetic disks have always had incredibly inconsistent random IO performance
From a non-realtime app POV disk seek performance is pretty consistent: you get 5-25ms seek cies that center around 10ms.
Especially In contrast to network backed where you get to contend with hiccups and contention with other users.
OS disk caching came about for a different reason.
