Thanks. I understood that before - yet another reason why I shouldn't reply
so quickly without thinking through all of the implications of what I am
saying.

At the same time, that is how BCC will push their drives though - by saying
that they have a 50% faster rotational speed. All other thigs constant, one
should see somewhat of a performance increase though definitely not 50%.

Thanks,
