The real bottleneck?- hard drive?

[orfajackson]

Hello,
I have heard this. Is it fact or fiction? The real bottleneck to processing / copying / buring DVDs is the hard drive? I have ben told that every other component on my i7 is slowed down by the "physical limitations" of my terabyte harddrive. Are spinning hard drives going out like the model T?

What of these new technology solid state hard drives? Are they faster? Are they of a reasonable purchase price? Do they have more space or less space?

thanx guys

Limitaion

processing --> CPU
copying --> source and destination hard drive
DVD burning --> DVD write drive

Solid state can be slower or faster, much more expensive and much less space.

The hardware has been mature enough to be limited by HDD's and DVDROM's for several generations now. A new I7 won't RIP a DVD or copy files from HDD to HDD any faster than say a 939 chipset board. However, if you are encoding video or playing the latest games, you will see a big difference.

In short, different jobs have different bottlenecks.

There will always be bottlenecks, because you are dealing with hardware that works at different speeds.
