Riddle me this...
I have a bet going with a friend of mine over performance. Here is the scenario:
Let's say you have 2 drives, A & B.
A & B use the same interface, the same number of heads, the same everything...EXCEPT Drive A is 200GB in size and Drive B is 50GB in size.
Now would one give you better performance than the other?
I'm saying Drive A would perform better due to the increased areal density.
He says Drive B would perform better because Drive A wouldn't have enough heads.
So what's the answer, or are we both wrong?
Remember, EVERYTHING is the same EXCEPT size.
Tanks!
