Re: Fun with Math I'm not trying to underestimate the speed, but this sort of setup would most likely be stored in a SQL database on an external SAN for large ISPs, and when you are writing THAT many entries the latency difference between 7200RPM and 15000RPM makes a difference. My point is the cost for storage shouldn't be thought of as just being the cost of storing this data on a desktop because all of the extra costs to ensure that it operates safely and smoothly REALLY adds up. |
