Fast processors and powerful graphics cards are enabling some very exciting software. Yet, there’s one system component that isn’t exactly keeping up with the performance curve: hard drives.

On the desktop, a collection of 89 compared models enable comprehensive comparisons. If you’re an IT decision-maker, our Enterprise Hard Disk Charts facilitate side-by-side looks at SAS versus Ultra320 SCSI and the RAID Charts illustrate the benefits of various array configurations. The brand new SSD Charts are a boon to anyone looking to abandon magnetic storage altogether, whether for reason of performance or ruggedness.
