Probably something more classical - not heavy metal or hip-hop with a thumping beat. (I can see it now: disks coming with recommended music for optimum performance: "Our 7200 rpm disks work best with John Tesh''s piano music, but our 10k rpm disks prefer Yanni on the pan flute.") -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering

Well, how about water-cooled computers? Would disk performance be better if computers were water cooled? (I''m assuming water-cooled computers would allow quieter machine rooms, which should help disks to concentrate/think better.)
Perhaps installing some active noise cancellation systems might be a good idea? ;-) (aside from installing a sock in Brendan''s mouth!! :-) On Mon, Jan 5, 2009 at 5:21 PM, Eugene Loh <Eugene.Loh at sun.com> wrote:> Alan Coopersmith wrote: > > Jim Mauro wrote: > > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDacjrSCeq4 > > I wonder if the inverse is true.
