Flash has gone from being ridiculously expensive to largely affordable over the past five years. And a staggering drop in price has been paralleled by another spectacular occurrence. The capacity of Solid State Drives ( #SSD s) has gone through the roof. “Higher-capacity, lower-cost flash has resulted in 1 TB to 16 TB 2.5-inch SSDs,” said Greg Schulz, an analyst for StorageIO Group. “There are already some proof of concept technology demonstrations that should enable current densities to be able to double within the same footprint with reduced price over the next few years.” As a result, SSDs continue to eat into the market share of Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). Here are some of the top trends, tips and considerations related to high-capacity SSDs. This includes where the market is heading, when these huge SSDs are useful and when to avoid them, and more
