AFAIK, two factors define the speed of log device: write transfer rate = and write latency. You will not find a rotating hard drive that has a write latency = anything near the write latency of even a slowest SSD you can find on = the market. On the other hand, only a very few rotating hard drives have a write = transfer rate that can be compared to SSD's.
