    eventually the BOM for the parts is going to sink spinning disks - they’re simply more expensive to source because of the wide variety of extremely complex parts, motors, controllers, etc.

    just a matter of time imho

      In the longer-term, agreed. Don’t see HDDs going away in the next 5 years (but we might see the beginning of what is essentially a permanent decline).

        yeah it’s not going to be a fast transition, it’ll probably trickle on for at least 5 if not 10. but eventually solid state utopia :D

          Until something like Optane makes a comeback to challenge NAND SSD. Something new will 100% come up, maybe not in the next 10 years, but it will.
