Samsung Reaches 1TB Per Disk Platter

[Aaron11]

5,400 RPM. ew.

Spindle speed should matter much. It's the overall performance numbers that matter. Have you ever heard of the Samsung F4 2TB?

Nope, nobody has gotten 60K out of it.

DDRdrive X1 - 211,299 RW IOPS

In any case, I'm sure you understand why your point was not germane to the discussion.

I think you need to look up the word theoretical in a dictionary. The theoretical is 60k. You can't argue that and say 'nope' unless you link a pdf or whitepages or some technical spec document showing "theoretical maximum iops: some other number than 60k'.

What your stating with "Nope, nobody has gotten 60k out of it" is your arguing that the actual, not theoretical, is not 60k with the original poster your quoted never claimed it was.

So yes, germane to the discussion.

I think you need to look at the post that I was responding to before replying.

When you consider the lowest figure thrown about for SSDs... 20,000...

The difference between 5400 and 7200 RPM becomes even smaller.

Percentage of IOPS compared to SSD:

5400 rpm 0.0025 to 0.004%

7200 rpm 0.004 to 0.005%

So.

If IOPS are THAT critical...

You won't be using a platter drive anyway.

I'm not saying they're that critical. At the same general price, but differing areal densities and rotational rates, I'll take the lower density 7200rpm any day.
