What do you think of the tape ssd drive?
Huawei’s in-house development of Magneto-Electric Disk (MED) archive storage technology combines an SSD with a Huawei-developed tape drive to provide warm (nearline) and cold data storage.
MED technology was first revealed back in March. We were told that, facing potential disk supply disruption due to US technology export restrictions, Huawei was working on its own warm and cold data storage device by combining an SSD, tape cartridge, and drive in a single enclosure. Its storage portfolio could then run from fast (SSD) for hot data and MED for warm and cold data, skipping disk drives entirely.
