How do SSDs wear out, and how does this make them less reliable than hard disk drives?
SSDs have no moving components, this distinguishes them from traditional electromechanical magnetic disks such as hard disk drives Hard disk drives (HDDs) or floppy disks, which contain spinning disks and a movable read/write head. This means that compared with electromechanical disks, SSDs are more resistant to physical shock, run quicker and run quietly or even silently. However, while the price of SSDs has continued to decrease over the years the question of the life span of Data centre arrays is still an unknown quantity.

With Over A Third Of Office Workers Having Lost Devices In A Public Place
One in four employees interviewed admit breaking security policies to work remotely and the vast majority aren’t concerned about losing confidential business data
Poor security and impugned responsibility are putting business data at risk for those working remotely, according to new research from global data storage and information security company Imation Corp. Workers are taking confidential information away from the office, often without the knowledge of their employer, and losing unsecured and unencrypted business data in places such as pubs, trains and hotels.
According to the survey of 1,000 office workers from the UK and Germany, nearly two in five of respondents, or someone they know personally, have lost or had a device stolen in a public place. Three quarters of these devices - such as laptops, mobile phones, and USB sticks - contained work-related data. This included confidential emails (37%), confidential files (34%) and customer data (21%). Whilst we expected the vast majority to be Civil servants, from councils and Government workers. We discover that the culprits were in private companies.

New Helium filled 6 TB Enterprise Storage
HGST (formerly Hitachi Global Storage Technologies), a well known producer of enterprise storage solutions, and now a Western Digital company, is shipping a milestone in Storage Innovation.
The Ultrastar He6: A New Milestone in storage first announced on November 4th , 2013,is now shipping.

Worldwide E-C-B Disk Storage Grew 0.6 Percent in Q1-2013
Worldwide external controller-based (ECB) disk storage vendor revenue totaled $5.5 billion in the first quarter of 2013, a 0.6 percent increase from revenue of $5.4 billion in the first quarter of 2012.
The Q1 results show the 14th quarter of growth. "However, facing the strong headwinds of a morose global macro-economy, the 0.6 percent increase is the slowest year-over-year growth rate since the fourth quarter 2009." said Roger Cox, research vice president at Gartner.
EMC, Fujitsu, Hitachi/Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) and NetApp all beat the year-on-year market growth rate in the first quarter (see Table 1).
