How come there is few Chinese equivalent of traditional hard drives?
Traditional HDDs are in rapid decline. SSD is the future
Uh, let me translate, as I got nothing to do right now at the moment.
HDD = hard disk drive. That has a platter, and an arm that swings back and forth, reading the data off the magnetic platter.
SSD = solid state drive. This is like the thumb drive we see. It is storage, and the method is electronic. I believe the binary 1 0 is flashed onto the drive. In other words, the data 1 0 is zapped on like some light sabre laser show.
The cost for a big solid state drive, use to be expensive, but cost have dramatically came down. This is what I read 2 years ago! So the SSD should be replacing the HDD is scale in data centers.
Now, lets go back to that other story a few posts before.
This Seagate fine over their Huawei dealings, for the HDD, that is pure paranoia.
Seagate, an American company, got fined $300 million dollars, by the United States government, for selling obsolete technology.
Let's think about that, and try not to laugh.
See, that is why it is good to learn other languages, like Chinglish and Geektalk.
You probably still want to use the classic hard disk drives as cold storage for your data.
Because hdd is still cheaper per gigabyte than SSD if you don't need the high speed data retrieval performance.
Cloud providers still use tape for archival of data in the cloud.

not for high capacity storage. Ssds are too expensive for high capacity storage. It will take many years until you can buy a 24TB ssd for the same price as a mechanical drive.
60 million yearly fine/ 90K salary per year per engineer ~ 667 engineers who are going to lose their jobs just for doing business.
Nope. SDD will never complete replace mechanical hard disk due to data security reason. HDD has lots of ways to recover data，in the event of data loss. Even if the disk was severely damaged，there are still methods to retrieve data. But that's not the case for SSD，and data will naturally lose over time on SSD，if you don't recharge or connect SSD to computer for too long.

Also HDD can retain the data much longer than SSD ... tape is even longer
