Latest Advancements in Data Storage: SSDs, HDDs, and Beyond
In the latest episode of c't Magazine, host Jan Schuessler led a fascinating discussion on current storage media, featuring guest Lutz Labs' Christof Windeck. The magazine, available both online and in physical form at locations where magazines are sold, delved into various types of storage media, including SSDs, SD cards, USB sticks, and tape drives.
The discussion highlighted SSDs as being at the forefront, with their speed and performance making them a popular choice for many users. However, SD cards were found to be slower compared to other storage media mentioned. USB sticks, while still useful, were almost considered a waste product in comparison, due to their limited capacity and slower speeds.
One of the most interesting revelations was the cost-effectiveness of 3.5" hard drives. Manufacturers are now packing up to eleven magnetic disks into the roughly 25 millimeter thick housings of these hard drives, making them a viable and affordable option for cost-effective storage.
Despite no new information being provided about SSDs, SD cards, USB sticks, or tape drives, a guide to storage media is available on the c't Magazine website for those looking for more in-depth information.
The production of the discussion was handled by Ralf Taschke, while the editorial team of c't Magazine communicates about IT news in a WhatsApp channel. c't Magazine also has social media accounts on WhatsApp, Mastodon, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, and Threads, allowing readers to stay updated on the latest IT news.
Companies like Hewlett Packard (HP) and R Logic International are still producing or supplying tape drives today, demonstrating the enduring appeal and utility of this traditional storage media.
No new information about the host, Jan Schuessler, or the guest, Lutz Labs' Christof Windeck, was provided during the discussion. However, their insights and expertise added depth and value to the discussion on current storage media.
Overall, the discussion was a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the current state of storage media and making informed decisions about their storage needs.
