Western Digital is going to split into two independent companies next year, and both of them will focus on storage. One on HDDs and the other Flash Memory.

    SSD’s just need good power delivery and cooling, where as a HDD needs those plus a means of dampening vibration for good longevity.

    HDD’s are no longer a good choice for mobile devices like laptops as an SSD is more likely to survive a fall than a HDD.

    SSD’s however require periodic supply of power to maintain data integrity (power it on for an hour each year afaik), where as a HDD does not.
