True, very true...
If your hardwarebudget allows it, take a serious peek at solid-state disks if you want
relly good performance in this case. Quantum Rushmore Ultra Series Solid State Disks
looks nice but are quite expensive compared to other fast regular 10k rpm disks.
If storage size (queue size in this case) is among your primary concerns also then
turn your eyes onto some nice RAID system instead since those SSD's are not that large
if you compare to the bucks you'll have to spend.
