As database performance is heavily influenced by the performance of storage, network, memory, and processors, we must understand the upper limit of these key components. For storage, FIO is generally used. Storage: The system has a SATA drive for the operating system and one NVMe (Intel SSD D7-P5510 (3.84 Database: MySQL 8.0.31

Otherwise, the storage engine does a scatter-gather and queries ALL partitions in a UNION that is not concurrent. This method distributes data evenly across partitions to achieve balanced storage and optimal query performance.
