The End of HDD in the Enterprise

Since 2019, up to 80% of primary storage workloads have been handled by all-flash arrays. Meanwhile, hard disk drives (HDD) are now largely relegated to secondary workloads, where factors like capacity and cost take precedence over speed.

Despite this shift, HDDs still account for 90% of the total stored enterprise data, underscoring their significant presence and increasing negative impact in the storage landscape.

This business white paper explores:

The imminent end for HDD technology
Differences between HDD, SSD, and DirectFlash
TCO savings with an always-on all-flash repository storage

“Even the staunchest proponents of HDDs would admit…that if flash cost the same as disk, the market for HDDs would disappear almost overnight. With innovations and efficiencies introduced by Pure Storage, the industry is now at that inflection point.”
