Vibration Killing Enterprise Disk Performance?

Posted by timothy on from the aftershocks-even-worse dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Is vibration killing disk performance? ZDnet reports on research that a carbon fiber anti-vibration rack increased random read performance by 56% to 246% and random write [performance] by 34% to 88%. Vibration is a known disk problem, but this is one of the few attempts to quantify its impact — which looks to be much greater than suspected."

    Yes, already saw some crazed guy at Sun shout into an array of HDDs and it decreased performance.
