The Register posted Seagate's roadmap for its upcoming enterprise drives. You can view it here.

I don't understand the very last sentence of the page :
The code-named Valkyrie enterprise-performance drives will likely be enterprise-grade solid-state hard drives and will not be pure SSDs.
So...it's a solid-state drive, but not a pure SSD....? WTF is an SSD if not a solid-state drive?

Enterprise hybrid drives. Which might actually make some sense, especially if they're paired with a faster spindle in the first place.
