Rapid Learning, Enhanced Data Protection : Dual Storage Strategy for AI Workloads
Session Overview
The storage industry is rapidly evolving with SSDs and AI-driven demand, but HDDs remain vital for economical, large-scale, and archival use. SSDs provide speed, while HDDs deliver capacity, and future storage strategies must balance workloads with the strengths of each medium.
- SSDs offer fast response and strong read/write performance but are vulnerable to heat and electrical shock. HDDs provide larger capacity at lower cost but are sensitive to vibration. Choosing the right medium depends on the workload.
- Next-generation hard drives with higher recording density will continue to evolve, and effective storage design must balance workload requirements with the strengths and limits of each medium.
