SSD will replace our HDD soon?

[TalkMan]

Not soon I think

[VinX]

i never used SSD's before .. will check on them in next few years ..

Which brings up another interesting concept...how much longer will massive storage be necessary in a standalone PC?
Online storage, streaming media, lots of potential alternatives to simply grabbing and hoarding on your personal box.

Ageee, the ether is where it's at.

I read some article and that SSDs’ advantages in lower power, higher reliability, lower noise, and faster access than HDDs, in an extremely durable unit, make for rapid growth in some markets, especially in military and industrial UMDs.

Define 'soon'.

SSD will eventually replace hard drives, some of the major hard drive manufacturers like WD are already selling facilities, because they expect lower demand in future. But in near future, hard drives will remain first choice for large and cheap storage.

soon: "Immediately, instantly; Within a short time; quickly; Early"

That's still pretty vague, innit?

Soon, I'll go to sleep <--> Soon, I'll get a blowjob.

soon ≠ soon

A lot would depend on whether you're an insomniac or a female...

I am an insomniac, and male. This doesn't mean that SSDs will take over the market sooner than I'll get a blowjob though. I hope.

I can never really hear my HDD anyway, given how loud all the fans are in my box.

So noise reduction for SSD isn't applicable here, unless I'm running a laptop.
