Computer users are being confused by industry hype over next-generation storage technologies touted as hard drive replacements, analysts warn.
"Debates over solid state drives versus hard disk drives are numerous and, for the most part, tend to confuse the potential impact solid state drives will have on real-world PC performance," IDC stated.
David Reinsel, group vice president for storage and semiconductor research at IDC, added: "Overall test results indicate that traditional disk drive technology is going to be around for years to come.
"However, both hybrid and solid state technologies will experience increased adoption rates as price points decline, technology improves and use-cases evolve."
