Naive question: wouldn't it be possible with SSD drives (which are mainly just chips, right?) to make the drives as boards and put them in 1U / 2U / 4U chassis?

Naive question: wouldn't it be possible with SSD drives (which are mainly just chips, right?) to make the drives as boards and put them in 1U / 2U / 4U chassis? I mean, who need the HDD dimensions when you are fitting the drives inside server units anyway?
- atYevP 11y agoYev from Backblaze -> Not naive! You could definitely reconfigure the design to hold SSDs, but that would add cost, which is something we're really concerned about. But the short answer is yes, you can use SSDs, though it increases the cost per GB.
