HDD is primitive garbage that belongs in dumps with reel to reel, cassette, 8 track, floppy, and VHS.  This 1950s magnetic recording has hobbled our technology for far too long.  Say no to the IO bottleneck.

60+ GB/s CPUs and RAM and 1 gig internet and 10-100 gig LAN and we still fucking read/write code and data off a fucking primitive magnetic spindles using magnets at kilobytes per second access speeds.  wtf

You seem upset about HDDs but yeah... been a long time since the transfer rates from HDDs were in the KB range... I mean well they are in the 100k KB range but still, you might want to look at upgrading from whatever it is you are using for KB/S speeds.

Random seeks will drop your spindles to kilobytes speeds.
