I am especially interested max completion > latencies of SYNC-NOIDLE workload. Vivekļ¼Œ The number behind bandwidth is the average completion latency which is extracted from the fio output. For example, 23,640KB/s 5.40, the average completion lantency is 5.40 usec. I'll re-test to check *max* completion latencies.
