How Does the Embodied Carbon Dioxide Equivalent of Flash Compare to HDDs?

When you conduct a system-level comparison, flash-based systems can have a notably lower CO2e than HDD-based systems. Recently there have been a number of web articles and blog posts comparing the embodied carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) of commodity off-the-shelf (COTS) hard disk drives (HDDs) vs. solid-state disks (SSDs).
How to Think Like a Service Provider and the Rule of 30-30-30

How to Reduce Stress on IT Teams
2020 was, in many ways, a punishing stress test. It pushed businesses, workers, economies, and entire industries to their limits. The cascading effects of transforming into a digital-first world ultimately stress-tested IT infrastructures—and piled on the strapped IT teams who run them. And they delivered. When asked for agility, availability, and remote support, many IT teams navigated the limits of overly complex legacy IT to keep us online, keep us connected, and keep operations rolling.
