Seems that many laptops and some desktops are now going to SSD boot drives and using HDD's for the main storage. If SSD's come down in $$, do you think HDD's will be phased out?
This is already happening. I work for a cloud/networked storage company and a lot of our hardware is entirely flash based and it's becoming more and more prevalent. A lot of laptops and even some desktops now just have SSD's as the only drive. The interface will likely adjust with time (like M.2 or PCI-E) but spinning mechanical drives are going to be more and more used for archival purposes than actual data access and read/write.Seems that many laptops and some desktops are now going to SSD boot drives and using HDD's for the main storage.

The feels. My 128 GB Crucial C300 was like $250 in 2010 lol.I spent $120 for my 120GB Samsung Evo SSD probably 4 years ago.
