Cache hit rates
Function
The cash hit rate is a rate that the input or output data of the disk exists in the cache. The cash hit
rate is displayed for the sequential access mode, the random access mode, the cache fast write
(CFW) mode, and the entire these modes.

Read hit ratio
For a read I/O, when the requested data is already in cache, the operation is classified as
a read hit. For example, if ten read requests have been made from hosts to devices in a given
time period and the read data was already on the cache memory three times out of ten, the
read hit ratio for that time period is 30 percent. A higher read hit ratio implies higher processing
speed because fewer data transfers are made between devices and the cache memory.
•
Write hit ratio
For a write I/O, when the requested data is already in cache, the operation is classified as
a write hit. For example, if ten write requests were made from hosts to devices in a given time
period and the write data was already on the cache memory three cases out of ten, the write
