Me too ... But I'm not a hardware guy either. I was under the impression that (seek time being roughly fixed) latency was reduced by the higher spindle rates...which resulted in faster access times.-Stoic Joker (May 14, 2013, 02:40 PM)
It's not so much he's wrong about 10,000 RPM being faster than 5400RPM - depending on what is meant by "faster.". But it's a mistake to simply equate raw spindle speed and cache size with disk performance, which is what he seems to be implying.-40hz (May 14, 2013, 03:14 PM)
Seems like it's more a case of what the crew is inferring...
Partitioning, I/O distribution on the disk, I/O bus width, cluster size, filesystem(s) used, and several other factors have a much more direct and measurable effect on overall performance than just the spindle speed or cache size.-40hz (May 14, 2013, 03:14 PM)
...Yes, but these are all factors that are external to the central moving parts vs. non moving parts theme. As these are all factors that could effect either design by a users bad install, or by using a cheap MBoard.
If as mouser eludes all other possible random factors are fixed as accepted equals, and the distinction is narrowed to pro/con of moving vs. non moving designs ... In that context is makes sense. But then again I like the lower speed drives because the bearings last longer if they spin slower, and I've gotten stuck arguing with some sales-tard at BestBuy enough times that persisted in pushing the issue that the 7200+ RPM drives would be faster that I'd have to assert that it is a rather popular (miss)conception..
what their down time is ... I need to ensure that everybody between point A, and point B stays just dandy so my company's down time doesn't spike us right into the toilet. Because if a drunk hits a pole up the street from me, and the local utility company doesn't get it fixed really soon... Guess what? My company is blind as a bat trying to function .. Regardless of whether or not the "cloud" is allegedly construed as being "up" (I'm still getting fisted).
