News Seagate SSDs delayed

Seagate's entry into the solid state device market has been delayed due to an issue with work carried out by partner LSI, according to an investment banker.

 

There's no reason why Seagate's reputation for making reliable HDDs would translate to the quality of their SSDs anyway - so I don't believe they have lost out too badly. The winner in the SSD market will be the one producing the drives which give the best price-performance at the time when the price is low enough for SSD to be a viable alternative to HDD. The SSD market of course is only just getting started, only a small fraction of netbook sales were for the SSD versions, with HDD still overing more GBs per pound - the only thing your average consumer is interested in.

 

lol I was just talking to a friend wondering when Seagate would finally get into the SSD game well even if its delayed at least they are working on it.
