With this release, AWS Snowcone is now available in both hard disc drive (HDD) and solid-state drive (SSD) configurations (SSD). Snowcone SSD has the same hardware and industrial design as Snowcone, but it allows for additional data transfer and edge computing use cases that require 1) greater throughput performance. 2) Increased vibration resistance during operation 3) enhanced durability and 4) storage capacity (14TB Snowcone SSD vs. 8TB in Snowcone).
