In storage system performance calculations, several metrics are used to evaluate the efficiency of

read and write operations. One commonly used metric is throughput, which measures the amount
of data transferred per unit of time. Throughput can be expressed in terms of bytes per second
(B/s), kilobytes per second (KB/s), megabytes per second (MB/s), etc.

The formulas for calculating throughput for read and write operations in a storage system typically
depend on various factors such as the disk speed, block size, latency, and concurrency. Here are
simplified formulas for calculating throughput:

Read Throughput:
Read throughput is the rate at which data can be read from the storage system. The formula for
read throughput is:
Read Size
Read Throughput = Read Latency
​

Where:
Read Size is the size of the data being read (in bytes).
Read Latency is the time taken to complete a read operation (in seconds).
Write Throughput:
Write throughput is the rate at which data can be written to the storage system. The formula for
write throughput is:
Write Size
Write Throughput = Write Latency
​

Where:
Write Size is the size of the data being written (in bytes).
Write Latency is the time taken to complete a write operation (in seconds).

These formulas provide a basic understanding of how to calculate read and write throughput in a
storage system. However, in real-world scenarios, factors such as disk I/O operations per second
(IOPS), queue depth, and disk access patterns may also influence performance and need to be
considered for more accurate calculations. Additionally, the actual implementation and hardware
characteristics of the storage system may introduce complexities that require more advanced
modeling techniques.
