I'm looking to build a 80 TB file based storage system. Ideally, I'd like to do this with a large JBOD and one server with a lot of cores.
My question is: Will JBOD containers (like Intel's) allow parallelization of disk seeks? Imagine process 1 asks for sector X, while process 2 asks for sector Y. If these are totally independent storage systems, disk A (which has X) and disk B (which has Y) can seek at the same time. Will the drive controller in JBOD systems support that?
Note that I'm planning on using a JBOD container such as Intel's.
