[LUG] Hard Drives

 

Hi

I 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.

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.
