Because of that we should move away from the older ATA/IDE interface and upgrade to a serial ATA disk interface (SATA). Upgrading to a faster disk interface will dramatically improve the throughput of data to and from our hard disk drive. Also, disks have to support ATA33 standard as well. If we have to stick with IDE then we should ensure that our motherboard supports the ATA133 standard, which transfers data at roughly 133 megabits per second. The second thing we can do is to upgrade our disk interface. More RPMs also mean more money for the drive. As a bare minimum we should get a 7200 RPM drive. The faster the drive spins, the faster it can read data and the faster it can store data.
The rotation speed dictates how fast data can be written to, or read from the hard disk drive. Currently the slowest drives run at about 5400 revolutions per minute (RPM).
Hard drives come in different rotational speeds. The first thing we can do is to upgrade to the fasted hard disk possible. Key terms: drive, file, data, errors, interface, faster, checking, fragmentation, defragment, optimize, upgradeįrom a hardware perspective there are two things we can do to optimize the performance of our storage system. Prerequisites: you have to know what are Disk Quotas. Objectives: learn general disk optimization procedures which consider lack of free space, fragmentation and disk errors.
