Doubly Distorted Mirrors

Summary: Doubly distorted mirrors raise the physical writes per logical write to 3 but cut random-write cost to 1/3 of a read by hiding writes in rotational latency. Uses a non-safe write cache and still delivers ~135% TP1 gain with little recovery impact. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
