Terabyte Update - Update

June 28, 2025

For several years, I posted a note here called "Terabyte Update" in which I compared the cost of various types of storage. The primary purpose was to track the rise of solid-state storage drives (SSDs) compared to traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). The last issuance of my guidance was in 2018.

But I haven't been silent on the matter. I've been the editor of the AskWoody newsletter since 2021, where Terabyte Update continued to appear. Here's the entire history.

The articles at AskWoody marked with a dollar sign are, regrettably, behind the paywall. The good news is that subscribing to the newsletter is a bargain!
