SSD prices at last seem to have an effect on hdd prices and capacities. We have almost had a decade of stagnant hdd prices and capacities. But it started to change as soon as ssd price per tb got close to hdd prices. I think we are back to a point where every 2-3 years the price of hhd/tb drops regularly as larger hhd drives are added.
- bombcar 3y agoDo hard drives have any advantage over SSDs anymore beyond cost per terabyte?
- sampa 3y agothey don't lose information after a couple of years sitting on a shelf
- bombcar 3y agothey also fail somewhat predictably in some situations (they start clicking before they die) but more and more I've noticed they just stop working.
- alwayslikethis 3y agoEssentially no, but the difference is enough that you would use HDDs in any situations where you can afford to deal with the shortcomings of HDDs.
- justsomehnguy 3y agoYou can write on them 24/7. DWPD isn't great, but TBW is almost limitless. Also sequential workloads doesn't suffer from the write amplification and remain pretty high even if you are writing for hours.
