Question High Density 10,000 rpm HDDs

[Neckername1]

Is it worth it? I see this deal right here on newegg. The thing is it would be SAS and would need a separate adapter with different controller for that drive. Would such a drive with higher RPMs be worth it in tandem with an SSD versus having a 7200 rpm drive?

I see no real need for a 10k drive.
An SSD+7200HDD is fine.

Nope. Those things run HOT. Hot=reduced life reliability.

With 1 TB SSD prices where they currently are these days,..why?

I did not think of that. Thank you!
