  Quantum is the only manufacturer to offer true zero latency reads (they did
  their cache right).

I always thought that disk drive based caches were counter-productive if
you're running an os with its own disk cache, as NetBSD has.  Is that wrong?
Has anyone ever measured the effect of a drive based cache on BSD
performance?
