HDD vs. SSD

Seagate

Locations

  • Longmont, CO

Among longstanding debates about chocolate or vanilla, and dogs or cats, can be added the question of hard disc drives or SSDs. Comments sections and online forums are full of opinions, but the truth is ice cream swirls exist, pets of different species can coexist, and it's neither a crime nor a sin to use both HDDs and SSDs. 

Seagate came to us with goal of making the last point with a video that would dive into the technology of both devices and show that experts in data storage know – and put into practice – the foundational truth of "the right tool for the right job."

So forget about the online trolls. This 3D-animated tour of the ins and outs is much more fun (and informative) than doom scrolling through the judgements from devotees of one or the other technology. Why settle for one when nothing's stopping you from having both?
