A 15000rpm drive would be quicker but MUCH more expensive, and if it's running in RAID I dare say it'll only run as quick as the slowest drive. If you're looking for ultimate speed then I suggest some Intel SSD's, being flash based they're quicker than any hard drive, or something like this from Micron (6Gbps SATA) - http://www.micron.com/products/real_ssd/indexHiI am attempting to pull even more speed out of what is already a fast system. I have 3 7200rpm WD 300gb Hard drives installed. If I install a 15000rpm drive will this improve the overall performance of the system please? I am asking because this article suggests that partial stroking a slower drive will bring performance increase.<http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=322>If this is true what stops me from partial stroking a 15000rpm drive please? I think partial stroking is his way of saying partition!Or would a raid configuration be even better please? Raid 5 or 10 maybe so we're getting the redundancy as well as the drives writing and reading.
You would need an SATA controller or motherboard with SATA 6Gbps to match though with the 6GBps SSD's and they're not cheap.
