Hard disk drives are today's fastest permanent storage media and have a large capacity. For this two reasons they are the most used storage medium in computers and servers. When buying a new hard disk, there are three important things to consider: - The connection of the disk to the computer or other device you will be using it with has a big influence on the speed with which data can be read from/written to the disk. Make sure the connection of the disk you buy is compatible with your computer! - The rotational speed is also important for the speed with which data can be read from/written to the disk and determines the time it takes to find a file on the disk. - Last but not least, the storage capacity of the disk, i.e. the amount of data that can be stored on the disk.

Comparing 10K RPM SATA drives to 7,200 RPM SATA drives or a SCSI drive for that matter is silly for any purpose beyond a general frame of reference. With that in mind, I am going to post the numbers for WD740?s in RAID 0 and as a single drive. As a re...

These are the first SATA drives weve seen that reach 10,000 RPM, and were going to be testing them both singly and in a RAID stripe and mirror.

The biggest argument to why you would ever need a faster CPU is often that everything is disk limited anyways, so getting a faster CPU isnt the solution to your performance woes. While, to an extent, this is true, we have seen over the years that quit...
