The concept of vending machines in hackerspaces is nothing new, but [iooner] took it a step further – as hackers ought to. Putting HDDs into the rotating spring of a …read more Continue reading HDD Vending Machine Works Like A Vending Machine Should
Hard drives are fragile and reliable all at once. It’s entirely possible to have a hard drive fail, even if your data is still in perfect condition on the magnetic …read more Continue reading Controller Swaps Can Save an HDD If You Do It Right
After decades of improvements to hard disk drive (HDD) technology, manufacturers are now close to taking the next big leap that will boost storage density to new levels. Using laser-assisted …read more Continue reading How Graphene May Enable The Next Generations Of High-Density Hard Drives
IDC recently published new forecasts for the worldwide hard disk drive (HDD) and solid state drive (SSD) market. While both markets were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the outlook looks good as demand for storage remains strong in multiple areas. W… Continue reading Worldwide HDD and SSD market growth shows strong demand for data storage
Solid-state drives (SSDs) are all the rage these days, and for good reason. But that doesn’t mean the era of the spinning disk is over, as traditional mechanical hard drives …read more Continue reading Transparent Hard Drive Gives Peek at the Platters
It seems like just yesterday (maybe for some of you it was) we were installing Windows 3.1 off floppy drives onto a 256 MB hard drive, but hard drives have since gotten a lot bigger and a lot more complicated, and there are a lot more options than spinning platters. …read more
Modern-day hard disk drives (HDDs) hold the interesting juxtaposition of being simultaneously the pinnacle of mass-produced, high-precision mechanical engineering, as well as the most scorned storage technology. Despite being called derogatory names such as ‘spinning rust’, most of these drives manage a lifetime of spinning ultra-smooth magnetic storage platters only …read more
