Is it true that WD really is lighter and faster than most other AVs?

[QUOTE="brigantes, post: 892959, member: 88084"] You keep confusing wide-spread use or cost reduction as evidence that the technology is not outdated. OEMS still use Pentium single core chips in certain products because of the price point. The only reason HDD are used today is for cost reduction. In data centers those cost savings add up to billions of dollars - a not insignificant savings. Please do not quote common dictionary meanings that support your agenda. You are deliberately using a definition that is outside the context of the relevant facts to IT hardware.

When referring to a legacy hardware device, this commonly indicates that the device contains older hardware such as jumpers or dip switches to configure the device. For backward compatibility, many software programs and computers commonly support legacy software or legacy devices. There is little or incremental technology improvement over time. Like the image says, there is no formally established definition of a "legacy hardware." However, there is the OEM industry and then there is the definition that MalwareTips members want it to be. That day has been here for at least the past 5 years. It is difficult to find systems with the OS running on a HDD in either the UK or US. OEMs continue to make HDDs due to their low cost - which is exactly what industry wants (very low cost) and consumers that want very low cost systems. If SSD storage cost the same as HDD or tapes, almost nobody would use either one. [/QUOTE]
