There's a hw-specific dimension to this, too: for my company's enterprise search solution, we had to replace our initial RAID setup (RAID 5, I think, using some sort of "integrated" RAID controller) because the performance was much lower than expected (and required). We switched to a SAN connection, and that has given us the performance we needed.
