Is 3.5" hard drive being eliminated in the market?

[brannsiu]

Is there still any reason to use 3.5" Hard drive instead of 2.5"

 

[Paul NZ]

Depends on how big it is I suppose. And the cost.Altho I would rather use an ssd than 3.5

 

[InvalidError]

3.5" HDDs are available in capacities up to 12TB. You aren't going to cram that in a 2.5" HDD or remotely affordable SSD any time soon.

There will be a market for 3.5" HDDs for the foreseeable future.

Hard drives of any size will gradually be phased out in favour of SSD - - of that there is no doubt - - but that's many years ahead.

But until then, hard drives will continue to be manufactured in both sizes.

To answer the OP's question.
I don't think 3.5 inch drives will go away any time soon because they are usually cheaper.

In data centers 2.5 inch drives are becoming the new standard because they use less power and more drives can fit into a server.
