We'll have to agree to disagree. I 5 (used to 10) box on 7200 rpms drives and Dalaran loaded perfectly fine (30 seconds would be insanely long even for a 7200 rpm drive).
There's the key, driveS with SSD you dont need more than one. It also depends on the population size on your server, on a very active server, dalaran takes an extremely long time to load due to the sheer number of characters that stand around.
