The 14 fold increase in capacity in one generation is incredible. There is still quite a revolution going on in storage. Any bets on whether the next generation will still contain spinning media?
I don't believe spinning disk is long for this world. 6TB SSD drives are already out, the price just needs to be driven down. Much lower power consumption at idle is a side benefit.
Looks like there will be one in two months, from a company called Fixstars; the price estimate given in the article (which it calls optimistic) is $1800-$2400.
