While eyeing around at new drives for my laptop, I was wondering why we don't see any drives with a variable speed?
For example it spins at a standard 5,400RPM, but can speed up to 7,200 when reading/writing.
I'm guessing there must be a hardware/software limitation preventing this, as it seems like a decent solution for laptop drives?
