Deliveries of hard drives have decreased by 15%

According to the Backblaze study, which deals with backups and cloud storage, SSDs are much more reliable than traditional hard drives. The study was conducted at the Backblaze data center for five years.

According to Backblaze experts, the wear of NAND flash chips significantly reduces the service life of solid-state drives. This means that smaller drives fail faster than larger drives due to higher write resistance.

By the end of Q2 2022, the supply of hard drives decreased by 15%. We would like to remind you that Microsoft previously recommended manufacturers of PCs and laptops with Windows11 to install modern solid-state drives for the boot drive instead of hard drives.
