Harddrives are already obolete.
Today you can get a 1tb SSD, sata 3 or m.2, for under $100. Usually under $90. That's what people were spending on 1tb harddrives about 5-6 years ago.
More than 50% of laptops and computers, probably more like 75%, come with SSDs, with no harddrive option at all. In fact, a lot of laptops nowadays are too small to even have a harddrive.
Once you consider that m.2 drives use less power, have a lifespan more than 10x longer (the average HDD is warrantied for 1 year) and anywhere from 250 to 500x faster than an HDD, you realize that compared to a 1tb m.2 costing about $100, that 1tb HDD should cost more like $6.
And they don't.
the idea of buying a high end pc case with 6 3.5 bays and not buying at least two hdd makes me cringe for now
When i can get a 4tb ssd for 100$. It's game over.
HDDs has really dropped in price lately, like 3-4T is really cheap. Also i got a external 512gb SSD (usb) for reallly cheap. Only thing HDDs has had till now is their large backup space, but i guess soon that will not count either.
HDD are still here to stay and for a very long time. If the price tag for large capacity SSD is still stupidly expensive I don't see how HDD will become obsolete.
