Fifteen freakin’ thousand RPM. It’ll probably sound like a 20 year old F1 car. I did get an adapter so I can connect it to a standard SATA port, but I haven’t tried it out yet.

Its not even the worst part, if its not soft-mounted it willl rattle the chassis.
And it also heat sensibly more than even a 7.2Krpm disk.
The “funny” part is to hold it when its running and moving slowly your hand (don’t do that if you dont want to risk to break it).

They are faster than a typical 5400 or 7200 RPM drive, but still nowhere near the performance of an SSD.

I remember the first computer I built, I went all in and bought a SCSI card and got a Seagate Cheetah - it was 18GB @ 10k RPM. Booting the computer sounded like an aircraft turbine warmup sequence! But it was awesome! This was when SATA was still a few years out, so most people were still running IDE drives at 100, maybe 133 MB/s and my SCSI was pushing 320 MB/s.

Some quality bad advice being dispensed in here. I’m just waiting for some corporate ladder climber to announce their favorite tactic for dicking around with $10K industrial level 128GB SSD.

It will suck of course. Transfer speeds, especially near the edge of the disk will be decent enough, though still worse than a modern SSD, but your random access seek times will still be at least something like a couple orders of magnitude worse.
