Abstract

A method and system for write amplification analysis are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that is performed in a computing device. The method comprises determining an amount of data written from the computing device to a storage system over a time period, wherein the storage system comprises a memory; determining an amount of data written to the memory by the storage system over the time period; calculating a write amplification factor over the time period; and simultaneously displaying graphs of the amount of data written from the computing device over the time period, the amount of data written to the memory over the time period, and the write amplification factor over the time period. Other embodiments are possible, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or together in combination.
