Its a long hard road to flash memory taking over the drive market. I find it highly unlikely that Seagate and Western Digital don't already have research on crossover products in R&D. They definately have a market advantage over companies like SanDisk in that it would considerably larger manufacturing capabilities to even come close to meeting the demand for storage. I predict this will be more like the original market for drives where a prolific number of smaller players will enter the market to compete with established drive makers. Most of them will either tank or get bought up in the first couple years and maybe one or two lucky newcomers will be left standing.
