Solidstate Drives?

[WillSpengler]

Just out of curiosity more than anything.

Does anyone have any predictions of when we'll see these catching up on conventional HDDs in terms of size and price?

Can't wait til we reach that point, should be able to reach higher density drives and they will be much more reliable

True, the density of conventional drives has a while to go still. Eventually they will reach the state of basically being atomic force microscopes, and that'll give a max density of these drives at about 300 Gb per square inch. IIRC most drives are currently only using 40 Gb per square inch.

Either way, SS can overtake that number eventually

(or even better, let's get the holodiscs on the go, estimated up to 40 million Gb per cm3 ! )



I'm hoping your right mrthingyx, hopefully only 2-3 years til they are more viable!
