With the cost of SSDs getting cheaper and cheaper, HDD is quickly sinking into oblivion.
Previously, HDD was an indispensable part of computers, everyone needed it to store data. However, only a few years ago, the status of these "hard drives" has been downgraded and very soon, they will follow the path of the previous floppy disks, quickly drifting into oblivion. .

Indeed, a few years ago, computer sets were still "considering" using HDD with SSD to store data, installing heavy software. Simply because of the task of running commonly used operating systems or software, favorite games have been placed on solid-state hard drives. Simply because they are far superior in terms of speed compared to traditional hard drives.

So far, SSDs have become cheaper and cheaper, with less than 1 million VND, a high-speed 240GB device has been purchased. It's more than enough to install the operating system as well as the software, your favorite game. Even many super fast NVMe, 1TB large capacity is only about 2.5 million dong, greatly shortening compared to HDD. You spend 2 times more money, but it has 10 times the speed, even 20 times (2000MB / s compared to 100MB / s), it's easy to understand where to spend money will be more reasonable.

In addition, faster and faster internet speed has also contributed to seeing off 'HDD'. Simply, people do not need to store data in the computer anymore, upload to the 'cloud' system and get it back quickly. Except for gamers who like to save games or to play again, movies, music ... are available on online sites.

Statistics of HDD sales also show this, in 2013, sales were 289 million drives, by 2018 only 124 million and expected to reach 65 million in 2019 only. The number will continue to decline rapidly in the coming 2020 and will gradually go into the past.

Previously, floppy disks have also gone this extinct route, when USB came out ... However, the fate of HDD will probably be better, when all kinds of security cameras, storage drives Redundancy probably still needs its huge capacity, simply leaving the familiar PC!
