Testing and Wiping Hard Drives - Any New Products?

Just an opinion, but i think times are changing. HDD's and removable SSD's are on their way out. The consumer trend seems to be toward lightweight devices like tablets and iphones. Most of these have memory and storage soldered directly to the motherboard.



I had three Chromebooks come in this past week. They're rather neat. Lower cost and can go for up to 10 hours on a charge.

I suppose it is what it is.

It might not be wise to invest in a technology that's slowly becoming obsolete. I can remember a time when a 1Gb memory chip or a good CD/DVD drive were hot sellers but they have very little value now. It's likely to be the same with HDD's. There could come a time when there's no market share for anything smaller than 4TB.Those things would take forever to wipe.
