Seagate Suing SSD Manufacturer
After reading ARS Technica’s story on Seagate going after US-based solid state drive (SSD) manufacturer STEC, I can’t really say I’m surprised.
Seagate is in the unenviable position of being a leader in the dying industry of hard disk storage. As costs come down and capacities increase, SSD will likely eventually kick magnetic and optical based storage to the curb at the notebook and desktop arenas and may even challenge traditional high-capacity storage solutions. Whats not to like, SSD doesnt have moving parts, runs cooler, and is faster.

While reading Ubergizmo's story about Intel's push into SSD devices, one thought entered my mind: this will be very good for the consumer. Seagate and Samsung SSD announcements were important, but Intel's entry into this field guarantees maximum value through improved technology and increased competition.
I'm excited about the future of SSD, and I'm convinced that Intel's jumping into the SSD fray will eventually result in the SSD benefits of speed, shock resistance, and stability at a decent price point for the public.
