Agreed. I wouldn't go so far as to call it meaningless without something to compare it to, but I'd imagine conventional disks would still be very fast in that setup.
Yeah - and perhaps for certain scenarios it might be faster? (Pure conjecture on my part).
So - if seek time wasn't a big factor, a fast conventional drive could be faster? And if you have a very high level of striping (ie. 24 drives), seek time might be significantly mitigated.
