Sandisk announces 4TB SSD, hopes for 8TB next year.

"We see reaching the 4TB mark as really just the beginning and expect to continue doubling the capacity every year or two, far outpacing the growth for traditional HDDs," Manuel Martull, SanDisk's product & solutions marketing director, stated in an email reply to Computerworld.

SSD prices are still too high to abandon HDD.

Yeah, I imagine it'll be quite a while before these become affordable. Might as well just stick with a 3TB drive or 2 2 x 2TB ones. I'm looking forward to the next generation of storage disks like this though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Versatile_Disc
