1. Cacheing offsets much of the problem and cache hits are pretty high percentage.
2. Transfer rates tend to increase as drives get bigger. Why? more sectors per track (as well as more tracks per platter) More sectors passing under the head at a given RPM boosts the transfer rate.
3. Vertical recording makes #2 even more true
But on the issue of access time(time to get the heads aligned), you are right, better to have more drives. - Posted by: DevGuy_z Posted on: 04/27/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
