idk i'm just going to pull the "dont know don't care, card." lol

well yeah, you can't just try, you need to actually do it.

Stupid title, grammatically at least.

kind of, like i said i play technical minecraft so the kind of stuff i'm accustomed to are the fact that repeaters schedule power events on a priority system changing based on what it's powering or not.

I will probably end up playing mineclone2/voxelibre at some point though, it's just not really a substitute here unfortunately.

High capacity SMR drives are already a special hell, those wont get much market share for the average HDD use case outside of archival usage, which might be the intent to begin with lol. I believe SMR drives are already cheaper anyway, not sure how much that is due to R&D and production or just existing in a special market space right now, but it's one of them.

that would be rather funny, although i play technical minecraft primarily, so minetest isn't exactly a substitute here lol.

that's possible, but idk. I don't really see why i would want an 8TB ssd that can run at 4GB/s unless im literally a data center, so i think at some point the higher capacity ones are just going to have to be cheaper and more affordable. I.E. probably slower.

it'll be interesting to see what happens, but i've been hoping that at some point SSDs will simply hit a cost point that is lower, whereas HDDs won't be able to go below that (due to physical tolerancing and complicated manufacturing) whereas with an SSD it's literally just chips on a board. You put more of them on the board it has more storage, simple as that.

Although i think before that, HDDs would likely become extremely competitive since they would actually be forced to lower cost some substantial amount.

doubt it would matter much, if you need long term storage you're using LSO tapes anyway.

HDD might be nice for a bulk backup or just mass storage, but i think the primary driving factor for them is going to be cost.

oh shit, you might be right, this might actually make HDDs more affordable as flash starts to catch up.

are HDDs finally dying?

based, i like those people. Unfortunately i can't exactly share a minecraft window over terminal, so...

if i wanted to share my terminal it's pretty trivial to do that. Unfortunately i use my computer outside of the terminal environment semi regularly, for most applications really.
