Subject: 750G disk details were leaked today
Comrades:
As someone who has, more times than I can count, had to suffer through
discussions on why an array made up of three huge disks in RAID-5 was
not going to cut it for someone's performance-intensive database
application, I was dismayed to notice today that Seagate has leaked an
announcement of, get this, 750G disks. At 7200 RPM. I wept unabashedly
and at length.
I think we must fight against huge disks for databases with all of our
(admittedly quite meagre as DBAs) might and power. We will almost
certainly lose this battle, again, obviously, but not without a fight.
As as such, in the tradition of BAARF, I have launched BAHD for DBs, the
Battle Against Huge Disks for Databases.
Please join me in my fight against huge disks for databases. Or not.
