>Or people who can't shell out the money for SSDs

I was talking about the SSD vs HDD decision. Not about people who don't have the money to do either.

SSDs are still considered 'luxury' items, like $1000 graphics cards. Don't forget that a 60GB SSD costs roughly the same as a 1TB HDD, and people do like bigger numbers.

People in the market for new PCs would typically start off with a HDD, before shelling out more money for an SSD.

>people do like bigger numbers.

Ah yes of course. I'm prone to seeing tech decisions from a more technical perspective only. I see what you mean though, the less technically sophisticated people probably drive more of the demand based on numbers alone.
