Default The traditional HDD is a survivor

A nice chap from Samsung disk division has confirmed that the company's SSDs are not something that will put the traditional hard drive out of a job.

Solid State Drives (SSDs) have their own market and they won’t jeopardize the traditional hard drives. Hard drives will be the capacity leaders and this won’t change in years to come.

Sandisk is showing off a new MP3 player with 44 GB max capacity (32 onboard, 12 add-on card), all flash based.


It is surprising that the hardrive industry, which is always quoted as a primary example of the McKinsey S-Curves for technology change doesn't understand that concept. Many companies do no longer exist because they failed to understand it.

MTRON or Sandisk have the potential to become the new Seagate if all competitors are that naive.

price/Gb the traditional HDD is still far in front, it think the solid state disks are first to replace current Raptors and other high cost mechanical disks.
