Even HDDs are not safe even though everyone tells me they don't want to buy them and call it "spinning rust"
>>107562429yeah, now im convinced its a market squeeze and has fuck all to do with actual demandprices are never coming down, uograde your money making
>>107562429data center still buy that shit en masse
>>107562429of course governments will do fuck all to stop it
Wen bugs and podz?
we require a constitutional addition in the United States that protects access to strong computing capabilities.
>>107562697Gamer laptops are a human right.
>>107562686B-but muh free markets>>107562697>WE HAVE TO PROTECT OUR HIGH TECH INDUSTRY>we mean CPUs and GPUs, BTW.>RAM, HDDs and SSDs? What's that? Who cares?
>The report identifies two primary demand drivers. The first is a sudden resurgence of HDD demand in China's PC market, driven by government procurement policies that favor domestically produced CPUs and operating systems. That policy shift has accelerated local PC production, and in an unexpected twist, has also boosted HDD adoption. A big part of the reason is trust, or rather, the lack of it. Sources cited in the report point to concerns around long-term data retention in SSDs, whose critical components rely on NAND flash memory that is vulnerable to "bit rot" over time spent in storage. The result has been a renewed push toward HDDs for certain use cases, reversing what had long looked like an inexorable transition toward solid-state storage.SSDs ARE THAT UNRELIABLEWHAT
>elevated DRAM pricing has made it harder for HDD makers to control manufacturing costs, even as demand surges. After all, hard drives use lots of DRAM for cache memoryis nothing safe
>>107563191..in a server environment and use case
>>107562429I felt like I was splurging a bit when I bought 256GB of RDIMM memory, 8 2TB SSDs and 3 16TB hard drives for my threadripper pro build last November, but I guess I actually got them all at bargain prices in retrospect.
>>107563191I have an almost 20y old HDD, I got an IDE to USB adapter and tested recently. Still works and the data is there.Now try leaving an SSD with no power for 2 years and see if you can read data from it
>>107562429Consooomers don't realize that new Datacenters mean MASSIVE HDD orders.
>>107562429HDDs beat SSDs when it comes to long-term storage.
>>107562429Duh. Consumers rarely need this obsolete boomer tech anymore, but some data centers are all over that shit.
>>107563297> try leaving an SSD with no power for 2 years and see if you can read data from itBeen there, done that. Worked fine. Ambient temperature is what you need to look out for. Cold good, hot bad. Don't put your SSD into a fridge tho, it wouldn't like the moisture.
>>107563191Chink SSDs probably explode after a couple weeks of use
>>107562697Let's be honest here, worst case scenario the cost for a high end pc has increased by a few thousand dollars. If that's a big deal to you then you have more important priorities in your life than buying computers.
>>107563191HDDs aren't that reliable in long-term anyway and modern units are nearly impossible to do disaster recovery. (Helium, SMR, HAMR)
>>107563338Neither are better than magnetic tape or optical media. The mechanical portion of HDD is what kills them and modern drives are so densely pack and use exotic methods of recording data that disaster recovery is nearly impossible. You cannot win against entropy.
YMTC / Longsys / FORESEEWhich of these companies are chinese AI labs buying from LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>107563218You can't read faggot kill yourself
>>107562429>SSD quality goes up and prices go down>nearly all computers come with SSDs>demand for HDDs goes down>prices go up, to build something that people aren't buyingit's a fucking mystery.
>>107562695>bugsSoon.>podzHas already been happening for some time now.
>>107562429Is it because of manufacturers stopping production to focus on AI or is it AI companies buying everything up
>>107562429Data hoarder bros, our response...?
My drives are only 7 years old. I can keep waiting.
>>107562429SSD prices went up so now the "lmao imagine buying spinning rust" crowd are suddenly realizing that it's still the better option for storing large things you don't need high speed random access to.
>>107565230Depends on what condition they're in.
>>107562686its illegal to regulate AI in the us
>>107563732Holy fuck shut up you rotten kike. Maybe if you didn't import hundreds of millions of shitskins to undermine the value of labor then people wouldn't have trouble affording shit. I love how you neglect to mention that the cost of everything else has gone up to, so unless your wage has doubled since 2020, you're now in a worse financial postiion than you were back then. Go fuck yourself you crab in a bucket nigger.
>>107562429Faggots literally buy hard drives in 2025. They have no issues pirating content, but too pussy to procure (Tyrone) the hardware to store their pirated content. I Tyrone ALL my HDDs. foh fuck I look like giving a fuck abbot hard disk prices
