The performance of hard disks has only slightly evolved over the last couple of years

Tom's Hardware  amuses themselves by comparing the performances of two discs 2,5" spinning at 7200 rpm. Rather than to compare two models being currently marketed, they compared two discs marketed with 2 years difference, the Hitachi 7K200 and a 7K500 in order to know if it was a beneficial to choose a more recent disc to gain in performances. The result is in conformity with the development undertaken by all manufacturers of hard drives with platters. The new products have a higher capacity, they consume a little bit less, but overall the performances has only very slightly evolved. For daily use, one can not await a whiplash in performance with such a change of disc. The gains will only be visible to those with a stop watch in hand. For these manufacturers of discs, it is much easier, all at least for the moment, to optimize the proven mechanics and to use denser platters rather than to start o
