Why Pentium 498
Wrong, most obviously when the disk IO is almost entirely linear.
Most obviously with video editing today.
Your claim that access times havent improved much over 30 or 40 years is clearly just plain wrong.
Irrelevant to disk access, which is what is being discussed.
AND the thruput has increased a hell of a lot more than 4 times too.
So much for your claim that access times havent improved much over 30 or 40 years. That is clearly just plain wrong.
Pity there isnt much improvement in access times with that drive pair. The improvement is almost entirely in thruput, not access times.
Irrelevant to your claim that access times havent improved much over 30 or 40 years. That is clearly just plain wrong.
By bugger all with that particular pair.
And that pair does, so your claim that access times are what matters is clearly just plain wrong.
Depends on what is being done, most obviously with video editing and imaging. Sure, but the absolute vast bulk of sectors are. Nope. Duh. Fact remains, your completley silly claim that ACCESS...
Still isnt.
Depends entirely on what you are doing. Its hardly ever a bottleneck now, just when doing video editing now. In spades with transcoding where the disk delay is completely irrelevant.
Mindlessly silly. Word doesnt, Excel doesnt, Outlook doesnt.
Gets sillier by the minute. IE does, almost entirely due to the internet cache, the OS does f*** all disk IO for the simplest functions.
Pity we happen to be discussing DISK IO.

Pure pig ignorant drivel.
