Please see the research paper link from yeokiwi on HDD vs SSD technology. The key message is clear. There is more room for expansion for magnetic storage than flash. Speed is not the issue but the size. Flash technology has always a problem to go lower than 90nm due to the law of physics (tunneling effects). Unless, semiconductor industry can think a better way to stack the dies or place it in a 3D shape or uses a brand new material like carbon nanotube which by that time would not even be called SSD anyway.

I read about a new material called Graphene. Could it possibly revolutionize the IT industry by making semi-conductors even smaller, like one layer of atoms only? Then Moore's Law would still be obeyed for many years to come.....

(Not Vested)

I didn't see my loud thinking generated so many replies

Clearly, if we talk about wanting huge amounts of storage place, HDD technology is still cheaper. Like what another forumer said, servers still need HDD for a large amount of storage space.

However, technology can change very fast. How long ago was it that we have our floppy disks? 10 years? Now?


But I guess Adampak, being a label producer, can easily switch to producing labels for other devices. I mixed it up with a HDD producer originally.
