AI infrastructure is multi-tiered, and HDDs are central to scaling AI, WD shares

[The content of this article has been produced by our advertising partner.]
AI has long been caught in a paradox: AI workloads demand high performance storage, long associated with flash, but scaling at AI levels with all-flash is prohibitively expensive.

Hard disk drives (HDDs), on the other hand, already store the majority of AI data cost-effectively at scale.

They are the proven, cost-effective capacity foundation of the modern data centre.

What has separated them is the assumption that...
