| How popular is the 3.5"
format for SSDs? It has declined. 5 years ago it was the most popular form factor out of the hard disk sizes. Nowadays, compared to other SSDs, it ranks 4th (behind PCIe, 2.5" and 1.8" - based on search volume in the 2nd quarter 2010). But the 3.5 inch form factor remains a strategic market which reveals a lot about the different types of application for high performance storage drives in legacy servers. In the 3.5" package we find hard disks, hybrid drives, flash based SSDs and even RAM SSDs competing for slots, often with exactly the same interfaces. Some of these 3.5" products listed here are "no compromise" solid state disks which offer the fastest performance and maximum capacities available in traditional hard disk form factors, or which can survive in the most rugged extremes of environment while consuming very low power. For other form factors see the listings in the Solid State Disks Buyers Guide |
