MySQL Architecture Deep Dive: Storage, Indexing, Concurrency, and Query Optimization

1.1 Disk I/O Characteristics Hard disk performance is fundamentally bounded by mechanical movement. A single I/O operation comprises three phases: Seek Time: Physical movement of the read/write head to the correct track (typically 3–15 ms). Rotational Latency: Wait time for the target sector to rotate under the head. For a 7200 RPM drive, aver ...
