Figure 80. Low Latency Mode with warning when Rate=1
Table 13 provides an overview of the impact of selecting different Task Rate
and Task Mode settings.
Note: The Background Task Rate and Background Task Mode settings are only
relevant when there is host I/O activity. When there is no host activity, background
tasks (rebuild/migrate, initialization, and verify) always run at the maximum.
