Back then, flash technology has yet to reach the stage where it can be read and write as many times as a hard disk. Put it simple, which one last longer after 1000 times of read and write? a CD-RW or a hard disk? The answer is obvious, hard disk last longer although CD-RW has no moving parts. Its the TECHNOLOGY! @Kazz and Reason

The information in this article is completely inaccurate. To who ever wrote this article: does it make sense that something that has a mechanical spinning disk and fragile heads that can colide with the platters is more durable and longer last than a flash based drive with absolutely no moving parts? The answer is simply NO. The last time I checked, solid state drives (flash based) could resist something like 1500000G of force and still perform flawlessly! Can a HHD do that? No. I totally agree with Kazz. The information in this article is completely inaccurate.

And soild state memory is far less prone to damage via dropping, knocking, water ect. take an ipod with is mini hd and compare it with a sony soild state and hit them against a table, i know where i would put my money on the relablity then! “reliability wise a typical hard drive out perform flash drive” i disagree, for example in day to day use a flash drive will be more reliable vs a hard drive, for example i have washed my pen drive many times and had no loss of data.
