Even the 2012 data is suspect.

"Seek + rotational delay halves every 10 years" just isn't true. We got rid of the >7200 drives and are basically sitting still on that metric. And hard drives weren't at 400MB/s in 2012 either. (The disk bandwidth section also cites a 2012 presentation with correct numbers, but something went wrong in translation.)
