SDDs can be destroyed by EMP events, whereas HDDs are safe. So I could see HDDs become prized by preppers and governments for critical purposes.

Maybe the data on the disk platters will be fine, but an EMP which wipes SSDs could just as easily fry the HDD electronics and firmware flash memory. Your data may well be intact, but you are never seeing it again without some highly specialised data recovery equipment - and will that equipment survive the EMP apocalypse?
- wtallis 4y agoThat is not at all believable: both the worry about EMPs and the claim that HDDs would be meaningfully more resilient than SSDs.
