The company’s AV Optimization provides a stable high throughput and smooth video streaming through two major parameters: read-ahead and maximum drive response time. Read-ahead automatically detects multiple sequential I/O behaviors, prompting essential media data to be cached, while maximum drive response time ensures every drive responds to each I/O request immediately.
