IDEMA DISKCON Asia Pacific 2010
Data Storage: " Back to the Future"
After the gloom and doom of the previous years,
the HDD industry has enjoyed a remarkable
recovery since CQ4, 2009. It is in the midst of
this revival that DISKCON Asia Pacific 2010
kicked off with much anticipation and optimism.
The theme of the conference "Data Storage: Back
to the Future" is appropriate as 2 years ago, it
seems the HDD industry was on crest of a boom.
Now amid much optimism, are the good times back
again?

industry, is a step to increase the

Going Beyond the Hype: The Real Story Of Hard
Drives Versus Solid State Drives
Every day seems to bring a
new prediction that hard drives will soon go
the way of the floppy disk, due to the
emergence of solid state drives. I
understand the appeal of a good story as
much as anyone. But what is the real story
with hard drives versus solid state drives?
Quite frankly, when you look beyond the
hype, it ¡s clear that hard drives are (and
will continue to be) the dominant storage
choice.
