| the performance bottleneck from the CPU and memory to the disk I/O subsystem 
| in most of day-to-day usage scenarios. In order to optimize system's 
| responsiveness, performance-hungry computer enthusiasts carefully selecting 
| top-notch, 10K RPM mechanical drives and stunningly fast SSD disks. But, what

| background."
