Hard drive maker Seagate Technology said Wednesday it plans to cut 8% of its global workforce, or about 3,000 employees, citing economic uncertainty and declining demand for its parts. “In addition to adjusting our production output, to drive supply discipline and pricing stability, we are implementing a restructuring plan to sustainably lower costs, including reduction in our global workforce,” Seagate CEO Dave Mosley said on a call with analysts. The restructuring plan was announced after Seagate reported fiscal first-quarter earnings that missed Wall Street expectations for revenue and earnings per share. The company’s shares fell more than 7% during trading Wednesday and are down over 55% so far in 2022. Mosley added that Seagate’s customers, which include cloud providers, have a buildup of parts inventory because they are spending less on computers. He said he doesn’t expect Seagate’s customers to finish using up their parts backlogs in the current quarter. Seagate makes hard drives and other parts often used in PCs and cloud servers. Seagate’s layoffs are the latest sign that demand for PCs and cloud servers is deteriorating after two boom years driven by the coronavirus pandemic.

现在基本都不用 hard drive了吧？ 都是SSD
data center还是用的
SSD贵啊。而且SSD一旦死了，数据就全丢了。传统硬盘顶多从一个扇区开始坏，而且有很多办法恢复数据。
near line storage还是用硬盘的。便宜量足，适合放cold data
而且长期不用的数据需要放在HDD上
SSD因为浮栅的量子隧穿，存贮在浮栅里的电子会偷跑，各个几年存的数据就没了 所以SSD需要定期把存着的数据读出来，重新再写一遍
有这个说法。那么SSD能存几年的数据啊？
我的保税啥都存在SSD上啊？
每代flash颗粒不一样SLC啥的久一点，后来MLC, TLC, QLC肯定是原来越差。重要数据别放离线的SSD。接电脑的SSD没问题，过一年开一次机就好，SSD controller会根据cold data的写入时间把时间久的数据读出来重写的。如果你每年都报税，等于每年都会给SSD上电至少一次，不会有问题的
storage的需求从个人这端转到server端了 你没事发个朋友圈，就把照片删了。个人对数据存储的需求是降低了。 但是服务器那头需要把你陈年八股发的Moments都存下来的 其实总的数据存储量都是在指数增长的
需要啊.......
特别是industrial level的application
而且希捷也有SSD 业务吧
我记得磁带还在用呢，硬盘当然也用
ssd难道不也是坏一片flash？
长江存储 ssd都被废了。竞争对手都倒了，还要裁员？
ssd不到十年吧
看到消息，国内长江存储的PCI4的232堆积SSD刚刚已经上市了，说是世界领先的水准，单颗粒能存2T

WDC 明早出财报， 两难兄难弟半斤八两
把光刻机等设备都给它停了。
希捷没有，做过几次SSD都没做成 西数收购了scandisk，他家还有SSD业务
还真不是，wearing的单位是block.如果一个block错码率高了，会把坏block的数据读出来放到其他block，同时标记这个block以后不再用。SSD controller的firmware会处理这些操作
那是更小的单位了，说明更不是ssd死了数据就全挂了
是坏了。数据就恢复不回来了。
WD 比STX好太多了。两家的硬盘（HDD)都买过无数，WD从来没坏过。STX基本都是过个两三年就坏了，而且坏得很彻底，都没法恢复。所以我觉得STX早该关门了。当然现在基本都换成SSD了，有几个WD家的HDD 还是通过各种adapter接在台式机上，跑得欢得很，那些坏掉得STX都被扔在一个塑料盒里准备当砖头自卫用。
查了查，是TLC的SSD。经你一解释，放心多了。
是不是最好用硬盘在备份一遍？ HDD时限应该长多了吧？
长江存储，不是已经站住了国内市场，怎么被废了？
SSD这个行业，不需啊高端的光刻机吧？好像只有手机，GPU这些需要吧？
SSD是不是65纳米就够了？
如果质量这么差，为啥希捷还能活的这么久？
Seagate有ssd啊
