Besides this these disks are way to expensive and you get much better
performance and several times the storage space by spending that money on a
RAID array.

Why you need a Cheetah 15k disk?

Hi.

I have a question.

I am really eager to buy a Seagate Cheetah 15K rmp disk for my

workstation.
The only issue is that I've heard that these disks are not suitable for
frequently power on/off, i.e. turning off the computer once or twice+ a

day.
They're more suitable to be left on, in e.g. a server, and that it is
hazardous to power on/off frequently.

Is this correct?


Thanks,
