We've been working on a piece for an upcoming issue of our publication on the Flash Drive vs. Hard Drive controversy. Last year at the Storage Vision show just before CES 2011 in Las Vegas I heard an interest question: which type of storage is cheaper: flash or platters. Everyone yelled out platters (or standard hard drives). As it turns out that's a true statement for very large drives, you know 1TB and above drives. But not for lower capacities. How many GB of storage do you carry around every day on thumb drives? If you're like me it's a ton! How many GB of storage do you carry around with you on hard drives? Probably only what's in your laptop and that's it.
As part of the piece we're working on we'll discuss how most us us will soon be using hard drives, flash drives and the cloud on a daily basis. I know we do already. Most of our writers use Google Docs as well as their laptops and flash drives to protect their work and have it accessible.
This battle will never be a win/lose for either side. But, it will be a rivalry that pushes both sides to make better and cheaper products. Viva la guerre!!
