1000 gb/s HD - LOL http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2097748/New-hard-drive-technology-hundreds-times-faster--allow-drives-record-terabytes-data-second.html
I am still trying to find more information on this, sorry if this has been discussed. If anybody has better sources please share.
TDK - 6 TB HD
With such speed we'll soon have SSD that'll live 3 month guaranteed and HDDs that you'll need to completely copy each 6 months.
sorry for not understanding the part of "ssd that'll live 3 month" ? as in, it will be too much for it to handle?
Just google something about that happens with flash memory as they use finer and finer process. If I remember correctly each element can live from 3000 to 1000 writes only now.
@Vitaliy_Kiselev I've recently built an editing computer with SSD as it's primary drive (contains Win7, program files and some footages that are being edited). It'sa 250Gb SSD Samsung 830. You mean to say, this SSD will fail faster than an HDD would?
It depends on usage. Usually it is good idea to have two SSDs for video work, one will be system drive and other will be used for editing. Note that even if it won't fail it's speed will degrade with time, hence it is good idea to leave system drive alone.
I think you would have to look into how these company's test the MAX speed, and then compare it to "real world" speeds. Even if a HD can zip 1000gbs, I for some reason don't think the average consumer computer will be able to push that. I may be wrong though, I'm not much of an expert in HD details. Not sure if any of this matters as far as the "life" of the drive is concerned. I found the articles interesting and thought I would share, and I'm sure if they are putting all the effort into producing these kinds of speed, Im sure they are also considering the possibility's of giving the drives a longer life span. We all know that nobody will buy a $3000 HD (just a WILD guess) for a HD that last 6 months.
