You may wonder why the entire industry hasn't moved to flash storage. It's because other media, like spinning-platter HDDs, still offer benefits in many storage situations. To learn what these are and how to squeeze out the full performance from HDDs, Stuart Cording, the #electronicsreporter talks to Toshiba's Rainer Kaese.
This episode is sponsored by TME. Products for makers and hobbyists are a solid and growing segment of the TME product portfolio. The most popular are Arduino boards, ranging from the iconic UNO Rev3, through to the MKR and NANO series, up to the PORTENTA boards focused on the needs of professional developers. Arduino’s latest addition to the lineup, the UNO Rev 4 Minima & UNO Rev 4 WiFi, can also be ordered directly from the website at https://www.tme.eu
