perhaps the deprecation of spinning disks has reduced the complexity of the issue
SSDs are much more complicated than spinning disks, so if anything the problem has gotten worse.
- tinco 12y agoAre they? see I really need articles about this :) I thought higher bandwidth and lower seek times meant less complexity, but I could be mistaken.
