Video - The End of the Hard Drive?

With plenty of advantages, will the Solid State Drive usurp the traditional hard drive? A replacement for your hard drive, an SSD will change the way you think ...

When will Hard Drives end? This process will START, when Solid State meets the same criteria HDD has already been improving for years: Lower price, higher reliability (SSD is only starting in this) and years of revision and improvement, and all those 3 need to be better than the other (HDs are cheap, still cheap enough to RAID and have almost the same reliability). Until then, I can't waste my money on SSD. Flash Drives and memory cards (SD in particular) and MOTHERfucking awesome though.

By 2013 SSDs are supposed to be the price of an average HDD. And Metroid, you are 100% WRONG. I don't think you could be any more wrong. They last much longer than HDDs because the Hard Disk Drves are constantly wearing, while an SSD has very little wear do to lack of moving parts. Heard of friction? They are 100% proven to be able to take many more Gs than an HDD. How the hell can you even imply that an HDD can have "No read write limit?" Google it. Learn about something.......(cont ->)

SSDs have long term performance degradation, and something like two VelociRaptor will bring the same performance with now degradation. Also, hard drives are cheap and a lot of storage space, and it is going to stay like that for a long time. I don't see anyone using a SSD for storage space in a long time unless something big happens and a 1TB ssd will be 90 dollars one day. People's storage needs increase and increase, and with the cost per GB for SSD, HDDs are staying for a long time.

After building my last PC for our studio, I'll never go back to mechanical HDD's. I recently made a complete switch-starting from an OS SSD and several 1tb 7,200 rpm HDD's [for storage of Pro Tools sessions] to rebuilding every single high performance recording PC using ONLY SSD's [4per machine] and not only has every engineer and producer noticed a HUGE difference in speed but also in reliability [a HUGE plus when artists are paying 75$-150$/hr-saves $ in the long run!]

There new engineering materials called carbon nitride coatings, aluminum oxynitride materials, and lanthanum stabilized-depleted uranium 238 hard drive platters. Carbon nitride coatings are harder than diamonds, aluminum oxynitride can replace mechanical components exposed to wear and tear and abrasion, and lanthanum stabilized depleted uranium 238 can store 500 to 1,000 terabytes. The new superhard steel coating that defeated even silicon carbide is cheaper and better.

@Metroid225 Digital drives have over 1Mill hours Mean Time Before Failure. And yes, you are correct about R/W limit - but relatively (to magnetic drives) it's infinite. I'm sure you will pull your head out of you ass once the price tag on digital drives drops. There is no reason for them to be as expensive as they are based on NAND technology (cheapest gates). You should take it easy on the insults as you're just making yourself look extremely foolish.

SSDs are durable and can't crash? Do me a favor and look up "flash memory", "charge pump", and "deterioration" And flash memory is still slow in the grand scheme of things. Can it keep up with a CPU or bus that can handle 20+ GB/sec? Let me know when I can get a 128 GB STT-MRAM drive that is zero wait state non volitile instant access and has a 30+ year lifespan and can move 5 GB as fast as the CPU can move it.

hmm $129.99 for 64 gigs of fast storage or $89.99 for 2 TBs of "average" storage... I pick 2 TB If you want to make ssd's replace slandered hard drives then you have to drastically increase there storage capacity and drastically lower the price to get one. If there was a 2 TB SSD out there for under $200 then they would sell out in an hour think about the whole low price + good quality = HUGE amount of buyers

The only way you will see the end of HDD's is if you can make the SSD affordable, and large enough for everyone. a single SSD costs 300+ (for the good ones) for a 128Gig single drive when I can spend 250 for 4 320 gig HDD's for a raid 0 array and still get better performance on average then a single SSD. Yes I do have a SSD in hand and yes I have tested both set ups and yes I was a reviewer at one time.

@Metroid225 Every point you make has no substance behind it. SSD's are smaller, capable of 3x the G-force that an HDD could take. They take MUCH less energy and how could you possibly argue the read write times? Have you heard of google? Youtube? Or maybe trying yourself?? "Nah, I won't I'm too full of myself and old technology to move on." Yup of course.

@WeretFilms Speaking of which, I bought a 750 GB hard drive a few years ago for about 300 bucks. Today, I bought a 3 TB hard drive for 150 bucks. So, the best thing right now is to develop a Hard drive/SSD hybrid. Because hard drives are so cheap, it's going to be at least another 10 years or so before these things become obsolete.

I don't think there are enough specifications or explanations on this video to convince me at first glance. I have researched this subject enough to know that SSD's out perform even the VelociRaptor; though, I would like you as a company to treat the enthusiasts who want to buy your product as competent beings.

The thing with ssd's and hdd's are simply this. a Ferrari vs. a bus. obviously you have alot more space in the bus but the Ferrari is a hell of alot faster. Tip : Don't buy high capacity ssd's just buy smaller sizes and put them into raid 0 for alot higher performance without costing any capacity ;D

Other then the price, the Biggest problem i think is the fact they don't last Nearly as long... meaning the damn drive's capacity decreases and the MBs get lower over time as well. Ive got an ssd as my boot drive, well worth it, but not for everyone.

@jak3legacy HDD's degrade over time?? How is it that I have 10 year old SCSI HDD's sitting in a Compaq server still performing exceptionally? It figures you'd be retarded enough to support paying $400 for a fancier version of a USB flash drive...

@zephon13 ok so i have no experience with either storage....and i'm going to buy a HDD...how many hours of HD does 1TB save and can i save directly from my Sony 550V camcorder to any HDD without a computer to transfer the footage?

Well if you into gaming and browsing the internet SSD is the way to go. I got the 64GB and it works like a charm. Takes about 20 seconds to fully boot into windows. See and all I do is game and surf the net.

@Xbox360Sniping I don't know what you've experienced, but I've never had any kind of problems with my SSD in my laptop. I've killed the battery and even taken out the battery and it still works perfectly.
