HDDs Have A Long Life Ahead In Certain Workloads
ComputerWeekly, Tuesday, August 8,2023
Spinning disk hard drives are far from dead, and with data volumes set to explode, there are use cases that suit them well. That's the view of Rainer Kaese of Toshiba in this podcast
Some have predicted the imminent demise of spinning disk hard drives (HDDs), but Rainer Kaese, senior manager for business development in storage products at Toshiba Electronics Europe, argues they have many more years life left in them
Core to his argument is that with the volume of data expanding rapidly, HDDs offer cost-effective storage that can cope with huge capacity needs and the right performance for particular workloads if their capabilities are harnessed correctly.
