My tools are "Quantum entangled" ;o)

in fact.... I am waiting for a 1 Angstrom HDD to arrive so that I can use my tools 8o)))

My tools apparently are suffering from Kinetic-wobble at present. A common issue that can be resolved with a 2 pass strike with a phaze shift continuum that helps restore the induction of nanode replication through the 13th gate of the cosign flux inverter.

They are quite cheap luckily and can be bought at all good food stores

Yes. Would you please go back to work now? :-)

As HDD_MASTER stated, he is unable to get back to work until he has replicated his nanodes through the cosign flux inverter.

Sounds like a serious problem, hope it doesnt cause too much hassle :lol:

Its OK now. I twatted them with a hammer and all OK. A bit like how you can get WD laptop drives to work

SSD is not suited yet for long term usage as yet, someday it maybe. When needed ssd advancements have been made, the future for mecahnical drives is then bleak.

The days of selling products, for repairing mechanical drives are numbered. When do you go to market with your new hdd tool. It's all to late when ssd becomes, the storage medium choice for every computer, replacing hdd overnight.

What has that got to do with anything?

HDD's will be here for a while yet

Well. I am able to see many "movies" that appear on some drives.

One of the films involved someone getting twatted!!!! If you know what I mean!?!?!?! :oops: :wink: :oops: :wink:

I highly doubt this!!! Which drives fail the most often? The older ones (+/- 5 years) As long as mechanical drives are still being produced there will be a +5 year life span for the repairing of mechanical drives. I think way on the + side. And then we will have to shift our recovery efforts to a flash and mechanical combination of repair. Like hybrid car mechanics ;)

Ssd's are slow in writing and always will be slower. Common hdds will last... (heard it 20, 15, 10, 5, 1 yr. ago...)

betamax vs vhs
vinyl vs cd
bluray vs hddvd
ssd vs hdd (it will happen)

bluray may have defeated hddvd but they murdered themselves in the process. Flash media caught up to them as a viable solution with prices/size/writes and sales of bluray dvds/players are at the lowest they've been. Look at the price of a new bluray player. No one is buying them. sony even admits it. Bluray will be around for data storage at best. SSD will be a solution but I don't think it's ssd vs hdd. It's a combination of the two depending on the requirements.

One other thing is that all of your comparisons actually ended in the same technology if they were followed to the current standards - CD (of some sort).
Betamax > VHS > LaserDisc > DVD/Bluray* (this leaves out that movies are beginning to come on flash drives and that the next logical step in this evolution will be flash)
vinyl > tape > CD* (music can be primarily on flash now)
tape > hdd > ssd (once again flash)

All of these ended with disc technology and the future will be flash for sure but the point is that CD/DVD technology is over 20 years old and is still the largest section in BestBuy/CC etc.

SSD also have problems like the flash drive .

Advances needed then in whatever comes next. Both Flash/ssd are useless and unreliable right now. Maybe something better comes along or a new idea which makes them better. Either way when it happens it could make for the decline of hdd.


Example. (ssd could be also be any future device, yet to be announced) (future - few months to a year)

You are again just a pc user. You need to buy a new drive. SSD is now reliable, dependable and better than any hdd thats ever been made.

Buying options are.

1. HDD
2. SSD (ssd is better now than any hdd ever existed)

Which are you going to buy.
