I strongly feel that harddrive companies are lazy as heck. I mean, look how long they all have been making 7200RPM drives. Garbage, they should of been at least 10,000RPM to 15,000RPM right now as a strict standard.
And high end HD's like SCSI should be at least pumping with more than 20,000RPM to 30,000RPM.
Heck, if I was CEO of a HD company, I would have already had a HD break threw with a 15,000RPM HD, a 24MB buffer cache & SATA2 aling with new innovative technology firsts into that HD for a decent price. But that would be me, IMO
HD companies have been very lazy selling there non-innovative HD's for loads of money while AMD, ATI, Intel & NVIDIA & other DDR companies are hard at work trying to increase performance.
Well, the problem is the HD, if you have a slow system but it is suppost to be faster, well, your HD is holding you up IMO.
Later,
I agree, but with 20,000RPM hard drives, the cost of the drive jumps and so does the amount of cooling required to keep the drive cool.
That is where Innovation comes along. They have none. Look at Intel with there 90nm process, you can fry burgers with it. But what are they doing about it?
They are working on a new design to eliminate that & to better there product. The same goes for AMD, though they have no thermal issue.
So, what HD companies should start doing is looking at successful designed like the Athlon 64's SOI, HTT, 90nm process etc.
Don't care if it runs hot, they need to figure out something fast & innovative to cope with that, because they are way beind & something better will come out & they will get screwed big time.
Microsoft is already talking about just having system memory (DDR, DDR2, DDR3, DDR4, DDR% etc.) with no HD, for better performance & security. Why, because HD's today are too slow & causing bottlenecks.

How can you tell that they are not in the last stages of manufacturing such a drive? Its \"break through\" by the way, not \"break threw\".
Many people will not be prepared to fork out the cash for 20 or 30krpm drives. Its not a good choice for the company to make 7200 obsolete and move on to 10k and 15k either. Not yet at least.
The majority of computer users these days are those in offices, the ones who think they are awesome because they can touch type and save microsoft word files. These people do not need faster hard drives, the largest file they'll work with is like 20mb. If their work is centrally stored, it would be a good idea to have a high speed drive in their servers though.
What I'm trying to say is that those who think 7200rpm drives are \"old\" and should be made obsolete, with \"strict rules\" for 10krpm drives, you need to re-think. Fewer people will buy these than not, so it would be much more profitable for Maxtor, Seagate, Hitachi and all the rest to offer these new drives as an upgrade, and not to force them upon you.

lol at that speed you just need to stick afew blades on the disk and you could cool your whole pc :D

You do know there are already solid state drives you can purchase?

Except they cost more than SCSI's. :wub:
