I read an article on Tom's Hardware page about short-stroking, and found it quite an interesting concept. The idea is to limit the "usage" of an hard-drive to its out-most rim. By under-utilizing the hard-drive, the mechanical movement of its arm is also reduced, hence increasing the r/w performance...
