Any document is talking about DDP Data write ?
DDP is very like Seagate ADAPT,
ADAPT write data always write into 10 drive,and every drive will write 512KB Page,and this 10 drive's 512KB page will be a 4MB space
How about DDP ?
https://www.netapp.com/media/12421-tr4652.pdf - D-Stripe size
This document just say how the d-stripe layout,
but don't say how the data been write into the drive,
The D-Stripe is use to allocate the space,
but I believe the data write will not use all the d-stripe,
because application is not always write 4GB data into drive every time!
Regardless, writes are always in D-stripes.
But if you want to ask a different question - what happens with writes smaller than D-stripes capacity - please wait a bit until someone from the E-Series team or other person knowledgeable about that detail sees this thread. It may take some time as many folks are already vacationing.
