is possible to make 10,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm for IDE?

This would be nice who needs SCSI when IDE is just as fast, but seeing as IDE's limitation is 5400/7200 rpm it is getting less and less attractive as SCSI are way ahead in RPM. where in the old day it was 5400 ide vs 7200 scsi and there wasn't much of gap. so i guess they going to try to milk us dry on the SCSI part before they will make IDE a little faster? what a joke.

Yep, it's called business

but if they made some faster IDE drives, we'd scoop them up like crazy...

It seems like I heard they were going to make 10-12k RPM IDE drives, maybe that was earlier this year. I guess there's not enough consumer (i.e., IDE buyer) demand. Too bad

perhaps they make so much off scsi like 2-3 times more that making faster ide is not their priority?
I dunno why they do this to us when majority of us buys IDE instead.
the biggest capacity of IDE is alway 5400 rpm then when they drain us enough or that it become obsolete for that size they then upgrade to 7200 so they can charge more for it.
i think they need to ged rid of 5400 rpm drives, most average joe are still buying it because it a little cheaper but it really really ancient stuff of at least 8 years old now.

There is one. The Seagate Cheetah is 10k rpm
[EDIT] Nevermind. I guess I need to learn to read more thoroughly. The Cheetah is not ide as you most likely know.

Oh BTW, the last time I checked you couldn't buy a Cheetah for less than like $225 on sale. Maybe it's gone down by now but seeing as there are not many of them being made I somehow doubt it.

I hope none of you are thinking (or hoping) IDE is going to be replacing SCSI. There's no way a few IDE drives can transfer as much as a chain of SCSI drives can.

i know i'd buy one. as has been said, the disk drive is the bottleneck. put windows and camelot on it, and watch it smoke.


EDIT: okay, just looked over at storagereview, the new WD 7200 RPM ide drive doesn't take any sh!t from the 15000 rpm ibm drive. the seagate 15000 rpm drive is still faster, but the density on the WD just kills most of the advantage that the 2x rpm gives the ibm.

aww cmon scsi will always OWN ide.... its that way for business matters too and also ide is just limited...
