OCZ Hopeful: SSDs to overtake HDDs in price/capacity in 2012
@ 2009/10/05The manufacturing roadmaps for SSD storage devices should enable three to four bits per MCL cell in late 2011 or early 2012 and this should be the point when SSD should catch up mechanical HDD drives in storage and price.The performance is already on SSD side. This is why Intel as well as OCZ are putting a lot of effort into this market as if this turns to be right, mechanical drives might become history in the next five to ten years.
either way, the future needs to go forward, not backward, a storage device that can hold a few petabyte and runs hidden and noiseless with enough CPU power to reencode , backup, do scheduled remote ftp sessions, support RDP, etc etc, is what I'll be looking out for in the next 10 years
