Do they even pretend to make hard drives? Not in their shop at least: https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/3.5-SerialATA https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/

Do they even pretend to make hard drives? Not in their shop at least: https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/3.5-SerialATA https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/3.5-SerialATA. Perhaps they do produce their own SSD's, as do many companies, since that's trivial in comparison. Definitely not hard drives, though.
- danlugo92 5y agoI didn't know SSDs were easier trivial to build compared to HDD, I suspected it for a bit after reading your original comment. So that explains why only 3 companies make HDDs.
- thijsvandien 5y agoSSDs are essentially just some chips (controller, flash memory, and often some DRAM cache) wired together, whereas mechanical drives have many moving parts operating within microscopic tolerances.
- wmf 5y agoFor SSDs the hard part is the controller and NAND and there are only a half-dozen companies making those parts. 90% of SSD brands are the same Phison controllers under the hood.
