workloads from attached hosts and in some cases may indicate the need for additional disk I/O
capacity (i.e., the more physical disk spindles) to satisfy performance needs. Latency is also an
important factor that affects the response time of applications. Higher latencies may be an indicator of
slower response times for the attached hosts and applications running on them. However it is also
expected that larger block sizes, such as from backup and restore, may result in slightly higher
latencies.
