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.
True, I recently bought an SSD just for starting up my desktop quickly and some other applications. It's definitely way superior to HDD but yes, the prices are still a bit too high. Having said that though, computer technology evolves at such a rapid rate we will see HDDs being phased out completely probably within a decade.
