Don’t Shout at Your Disks

GeneralPost by Mike DiPetrilloAdd comments

Have you ever had a really bad day in the office? Has the pointy haired boss ever sent you over the edge and so you ran to the datacenter to let out your frustration? If you ever get completely frustrated work make sure not to shout at your storage – it takes it personally. Don’t believe me? Just watch this video.

I remember our performance lead engineer (@ IBM) stressing us on the importance (and side effects) of poorly designed disk drawers with respect to vibration. These are the details that might cause an equipment cost more than another with apparently no functional differences....

We can see that the hard disks are very sensitive devices. And the noise (the screeaming) is creating quite an impact on this.

Very impressif.
