Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: More drives or bigger drives
That's what I thought, but then I checked the tech specs of most of the
drives out there.
At Seagate for example the 15K.3
The 18 gig has 1 disc 2 heads
The 36 gig has 2 disc 4 heads
The 73 gig has 4 disc 8 heads
So does it matter how many drives you have? I guess more drives would decrease latency but would it really increase your throughput?

16 * 18GB 15K spins.
Generally, "More heads = more I/O performance"

Hi Everyone
We were looking into buying A new IO subsystem for a new server.
So I was curios what everybody's thoughts were on what is faster
4 x 73gig or 8 * 36gig
Higher density or more heads?
Thanks
