17 years ago, one engineer made a very important discovery: If you shout at data centre HDDs, they slow down
An engineer named Brendan Gregg discovered 17 years ago that shouting at Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) can increase their latency due to vibration. This phenomenon affects HDDs but not Solid State Drives (SSDs). The discovery was shared by Bryan Cantrill in a 2008 YouTube video and is relevant to data center operations.
