I am currently trying to come up with a rule of thumb so that I can
determine the relative speed of a hard drive.  I have seen drives
with fast access times and slow through-puts and drives with slow
access times and high through-puts.  Which is more important?
Does anyone have any ideas?  I would greatly appreciate any help.
