Overview: IT departments are under growing pressure to find the most cost-effective means to meet their escalating data storage requirements, including disc drive capacity and performance. Nowadays storage systems must hold ever-increasing amounts of data, achieve Input/Output (I/O) performance goals, meet client response-time expectations and minimize physical space (U or ft3) requirements. Furthermore, IT professionals must ensure their storage systems are reliable-maximizing system availability while minimizing drive failures, the number of RAID rebuilds and RAID rebuild time. In this paper we will discuss a variety of factors that impact the choice of disc drive capacity and speed for systems that offer a choice between 3.5-inch 10K-RPM drives and 3.5-inch 15K-RPM drives.
