IOPS Calculator accuracy and testing

This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.

Formula source

  • Required IOPS = (read ops/sec + write ops/sec) * peak multiplier. Throughput MB/sec = (read ops * read KB + write ops * write KB) / 1024 * peak multiplier.

Test cases

Default input regression check

Generated from the checked-in default inputs and calculate function.

Inputs

  • Read Ops: 2,000 ops/sec
  • Write Ops: 500 ops/sec
  • Average Read Size: 16 KB
  • Average Write Size: 16 KB
  • Peak Multiplier: 1.5 x

Expected outputs

  • Required IOPS: 3,750
  • Throughput: 58.59 MB/s
  • Read Mix: 80.00%
  • Daily IO Count: 216,000,000

Known limitations

  • This page documents the checked-in calculator logic and does not certify results for every real-world edge case.
  • Use the result as a planning estimate unless the calculator page states a stricter purpose.

Assumptions

  • Read/write rates are steady-state averages.
  • Latency is not predicted from hardware behavior.
  • No workload telemetry is stored.

Unit handling

  • Read Ops accepts values in ops/sec.
  • Write Ops accepts values in ops/sec.
  • Average Read Size accepts values in KB.
  • Average Write Size accepts values in KB.
  • Peak Multiplier accepts values in x.
  • Throughput is displayed in MB/s.
  • Read Mix is displayed as a percentage.

Rounding rules

  • Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
  • Percent outputs are displayed with two decimal places.
  • Input precision follows configured step values where provided.
