The sad fact is that hdd speed, especially access time has not evolved with the same speed as other parts of pc hardware.
The operator bus, the memory bus and the peripheral ditto are also way behind the CPU, but that is the way it has always been.
Not really, for a long time the parallel bus of the scsi system was a limiting factor, also the pci bus system. With pci-e you can use a lot more bandwidth.
A lot more yes, but four CPU cores running at 3GHz can still drive a lot more IO than the PCIe bus can ever hope to deliver. /Per -- /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
