The sad fact is that hdd speed, especially access time has not evolved with the same speed as other parts of pc hardware.
We need hard disks with two or more independent heads. :-)~~
Nope, the real solution is not to use hard disk at all anymore. I am eagerly waiting for the time when SSDs are becoming reliable, cheap and fast enough with enough capacity to be used as replacement. It shouldn't take that long anymore. Recent models offer 200+ mb/s speed. In 3-4 years I expect that most servers come equipped with SSDs. -- Sandy List replies only please!
