Seagate: Stop Dreaming, SSDs Will NEVER be as Cheap as HHDs

According to many experts and analysis, cheaper NAND flash memory will eliminate the use of HDDs in coming years. But, the reality is a little distorted. The rate, at which the prices of HDDs are decreasing, is much faster than the reduction in the prices of SSDs</span></em></div>

<em style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28.7999992370605px;">T</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28.7999992370605px;">he leading storage solutions maker Seagate Technology claims that no matter how cheap the SSDs get in the upcoming times, it will never match the price of HDDs. To be precise, the cost of one GB on HDDs will become as cheap as half of a penny. The claims should be considered pretty believable as Seagate is one of the biggest hard drive makers.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This prediction of Seagate doesn’t match the predictions made by SanDisk and Toshiba. According to them, the cost of <span style="-webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease; border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-timing-function: ease; vertical-align: baseline;">enterprise-class SSDs will be as low as the enterprise-class hard disks</span><span style="-webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; transition-duration: 0.2s;">.</span> At Citigroup’s global technology conference, a Seagate executive said, “I personally will never foresee the day, […] when there is a crossover [between the per-gigabyte cost of NAND and rotating magnetic media]. In 2020 we [will] have drives in the portfolio that will be less than half a penny per gigabyte. I just don’t see how you could get that from the competing technology.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Right now an affordable consumer class HDD costs around 3-4 cents per-GB, whereas an SSD costs about 50-60 cents per-GB storage. This shows that there is a huge gap that remains to be filled by the SSDs on the price frontier.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">SSDs have higher IOPS i.e. read/write input/output operation per second and this makes them preferable for enterprise and datacentre applications. But for archive applications and cold storage, SSDs are a very expensive solution. Also, with thinner laptops and hybrid PCs, adoption of SSDs is happening at a faster rate.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Depending upon the price and usability, users will be able to use both SSDs and HDDs as it’ll continue to co-exist in many years to come.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The story I’m going to describe here deals with the fact that lots of people identify all tablets as iPads. Sounds weird?

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In Thursday’s game between the Pittsburg Steelers and England Patriots, NBC announcer Al Michales was found calling the Surface an iPad.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Raspberry Pi 2 doesn’t have its onboard storage. So, you need to bring your own SD card with your OS image loaded onto it. Note that you should a class 10 SD card for this purpose. The Pi is powered by a micro-USB and you are recommended to use a wall socket for a steady supply.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28.7999992370605px;">very interesting story is heating up the rumors market and it’s making waves in the complete computer hardware industry. To revive its chip operations, Microsoft is looking to acquire Sunnyvale-based Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), according to </span><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.fudzilla.com/news/graphics/38725-microsoft-interested-to-acquire-amd" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-timing-function: ease; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Fudzilla</a></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28.7999992370605px;">.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These buyout talks are taking place from some time, but the actual outcomes and its date is uncertain. The company is not only interested in the CPU part, but also in the graphics sector. It should be noted that AMD is struggling to compete with Intel in the CPU sector, and the similar rivalry in graphics sector continues with NVIDIA.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The rumored acquisition from Microsoft will definitely be a multi-billion dollar business deal that will help Microsoft to start its in-house chip development. This will ensure a better control over its homegrown hardware like Xbox consoles, Windows 10 mobile devices and future Surface Pro tablets. According to the analysts, currently Microsoft pays about $100 for every AMD chip in Xbox One and the AMD-Microsoft deal will save tons of money.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But, Microsoft isn’t the only buyer as similar interests are being shown by Intel. If the reports are true, let’s hope that Microsoft doesn’t end up committing a blunder like Nokia acquisition.</span></div>
