On The Stroke Of Performance: Hard Drive Short Stroking
Flash SSDs dominate the news at present. If you believe the coverage from multiple Internet tech magazines, flash-based devices are about to take over the storage market. They’re perceived as being faster and more efficient than hard drives—and maybe a bit more expensive. The truth is different, though; flash memory still has only a tiny market share for many reasons. The good old hard drive isn’t dead, and we just found another reason for them to live on for a while: short stroking technology.

You totally needed to summarize that article some more. That was 10 pages of almost nothing that I could recognize after a quick skim.

I always consider short stroking as the point of no return.
. . .
Or in other words one we start switching to flash there will be no stopping it.

Enterprise IT departments have been short-stroking 10K drives for years to get better performance; it's a cheap way to boost throughput without going to 15K drives.

its not about burst speed, its continuous output.
