One thing that SSD's still can't do, Is keep your data Safe for periods similar to that of mechanicals without being powered up every Year.

Too many people have complained about using SSD as offline storage and came to realize that after a year and a half, of being offline a significant amount of the data was gone.

It must be technically feasible to make a pure mechanical HDD that has higher throughputs.

Right as we speak a copy of one of my large audio projects is made to a mechanical HDD. I ask myself why technology has not evolved in a way that single consumer grade drives can take the TB of data they hold in at speeds that are proportional to their size.

It takes 10 minutes for a puny 100GB to be transferred at about 160MB/s from the M.2 SSD to the mechanical spinner which still rotates at that lousy 7200RPM.

My Ultrawide SCSI Fijitsu HDD on my A4000T rotated at 10.000RPM! That HDD is from the last century!!!

IT still works!

If HDD companies put in the proper research we may not be having 20.000RPM drives on servers, because of mechanical limits, but we should have had 10.000 rpm drives now for consumer grade mechanical HDDs.
