The thing I like most about short stroking 7200RPM 1 to 2 TB drives is that you get great performance on one hand, and a ton of left over storage for backups and stuff. And honestly, you can't have enough extra storage laying about when working on databases. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
