Just wanted to pose a quick question, 10000rpm hard disks have been around for a while is there any reason why the mainstream consumer has yet to see an affordable sata 10000rpm HD solution. Why is it that after 4-5 years of sata hd's that access times and read/write speeds haven't improved at a similar rate to other components. I know Hard drives aren't considered to be as crucial to the speed and power of a system as say a gfx card, processor and memory and sata 2 has come out but imo it is. Just wanted to know is there any particular reason for this?
