The IT department of a financial firm is tasked with updating their data servers with hard drives that can accommodate frequent transactions and bulk data analysis. To enhance server responsiveness and maintain a modest budget, which spindle speed would be the optimal choice for their spindle-based hard drives?
In a server environment that deals with frequent transactions and requires quick access to data, such as in a financial firm, a speed of 10,000rpm for a spindle-based hard drive is typically a good compromise between cost and performance. Such drives are faster than standard 7,200rpm drives and more affordable than the top-tier 15,000rpm drives, thus catering well to the needs of bulk data analysis and consistent transactions while considering budget constraints. The choice of 10,000rpm drives holds true even when keeping in mind the performance capabilities of SSDs, which are not included in the options but would otherwise provide superior response times.
