The hardware portion of my upgrade is complete. The drives come up in the bios running as ultra 160. The system is noticeably faster. The previous drives while 10k drives were running as 40mbps SCSI speeds still with parallel performance and error correction of SCSI drives better than IDE but now the system is screaming performing at the true capabilities of the drives!!
Oh yes hard drive performance and speed is very important along with the CPU speed and RAM speed and size. All of those things contribute to the system performance.
As users this will be more evident as I manipulate the songs on the hard drive, this way there will be less skips and buffering when I am setting up songs live and moving around the order. Actually it was pretty good before but now it’s even better!!
I have noticed improved boot speed, application execution speed etc...
Next step some software and web site appearance changes.
