Interesting, it looks like #westerndigital will soon be delivering #harddrive #hybrids that have #spinning #disks and #nand - something they are calling #optinand https://www.tomshardware.com/news/wdc-to..
And this is why we need #opensource #flash #drives - you cannot trust them to operate safely or even in a way where they can detect their own #corruption https://goughlui.com/2017/05/30/experime.. In theory it should be possible to far exceed the #read and #write #cycles that the #nand supports...
