My guess would be the lower the latency the better. Depending on what
the machine is going to be used for, will make a difference sequential
or random read/writes. For a general purpose file server, I guess
random performance would be more useful. For a file backup machine,
sequential performance may be more important.
Looking at the tables above, I would guess that the third has the
better hardware. Is that true? If so, that should confirm that you can
use this tool to do comparative tests between setups.
I hope somone else can provide better information as I have a habbit
of talking off the top of me head without any real knowledge to back
it up. I fear this may be one of those occasions. :-)
