- greenyoda 14y agoIndeed. For reference, here's Linus' actual quote from the linked Slashdot article[1]: I'm not actually all that much of a storage guy, and while I'm the top-level kernel maintainer, this is likely a question that would be better asked of a number of other people. The one (personal) thing storage-related that I'd like to re-iterate is that I think that rotating storage is going the way of the dodo (or the tape). "How do I hate thee, let me count the ways". The latencies of rotational storage are horrendous, and I personally refuse to use a machine that has those nasty platters of spinning rust in them. Sure, maybe those rotating platters are ok in some NAS box that you keep your big media files on (or in that cloud storage cluster you use, and where the network latencies make the disk latencies be secondary), but in an actual computer? Ugh. "Get thee behind me, Satan". [1] http://meta.slashdot.org/story/12/10/11/0030249/linus-torvalds-answers-your-questions http://meta.slashdot.org/story/12/10/11/0030249/linus-torval...
