As SSD technology continues to evolve, its capacities are also increasing. Although their prices are higher than HDDs, the use of SSDs is increasing day by day. As SSDs become widespread, many users have turned to these hard disks. While HDDs are slowly starting to fall behind, a claim made about Microsoft will cause great repercussions.
Windows 11 will be installed only on SSD
According to the claim, Microsoft asked computer manufacturers to stop using HDD in Windows 11 devices. Accordingly, Microsoft wants Windows 11 to be installed on SSDs. However, since most computers already have only one storage space, the usage space of HDDs will be greatly restricted.
This decision was probably made to improve the performance level and consistency of Windows 11. However, no statement has been made by Microsoft yet. According to the claim, Microsoft has given computer manufacturers until the end of 2023 to implement this decision.
With advances in manufacturing and storage, the price of SSDs continues to fall. The era of HDDs, which draws attention with their long-lasting structures, seems to be gradually closing. If these claims are true, this process will progress much faster.
Currently, the storage device type is not included in the hardware requirements of Windows 11. For Windows 11, the only thing Microsoft explains in this sense is the storage capacity. However, if the alleged rule is implemented, the reaction of device manufacturers is a matter of curiosity.
SSDs are still quite expensive compared to HDDs, although their prices are on the decline. This will naturally increase computer costs. Because of this, it is very likely that the prices of computers will increase.
In these days, where computer prices are already increasing with the increase in exchange rate, we also wonder where it will come with the cost of SSD. So what do you think about the HDD restriction on Windows 11 devices? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
