2030! Damn, that’s far!
I’ve done a bit of research. If SSDs become cheaper, what advantages would SSD have over HDD, if any? According to my research, SSDs are smaller, faster, last longer, and more reliable, so price per byte really seems to be the only thing going for them. Feel free to correct me, as I don’t claim to be an expert on this.
I thought I was hot shit when I could afford a 64GB Samsung SSD in 2008.
This is tough to predict. Another round of pandemic caused by that stupid country (whether deliberate or accidental) and you can bin this chart.
2030? No. More like 2026 at best. Micron is investing $100 billions for a reason.
Double the size only twice from 8 to 32 and keep current prices like (32 would cost as much as 8 now) and I will replace every single drive I have.
Its not that far fetch, ssd double in size in regular intervals but jump to 16tb is overdue for sure
I don’t know why this is done with a linear fit cuz these kind of curves will probably level out at some point with diminishing return
Yes, which is why its an exponential. This is a logarithmic graph.
Question to fellow hoarders: Will you really trust SSDs to hold your data vs mechanical drives?
