Linux, почему запись на диск быстрее чтения?

Решил тут потестировать диски. Нашел статью о том, как это делать правильно. Но результаты меня смущают, на запись IOPS явно больше, хотя в настройках явно указано direct=1. Вот параметры теста:

[global]
blocksize=4k
filename=/dev/sda2
direct=1
buffered=0
ioengine=libaio
iodepth=32

[readtest]
rw=randread
[writetest]
rw=randwrite

А это результаты:

readtest: (g=0): rw=randread, bs=4K-4K/4K-4K/4K-4K, ioengine=libaio, iodepth=32
writetest: (g=0): rw=randwrite, bs=4K-4K/4K-4K/4K-4K, ioengine=libaio, iodepth=32

Оно так и должно быть?
