- ksec 5y agoI am going to assume this is with same number of platter so essentially a roadmap of 2.5x density improvement per platter. Which means we could finally see 10TB 2.5" HDD.
- awiesenhofer 5y agoWill be interesting to see what comes first: 2.5" HDDs in that size range or affordable 8TB+ QVO SSDs ...
- ksec 5y agoI would love to be wrong. But nothing I see in the current investor as well as technology roadmap suggest we are going to see significant cheaper NAND production cost. ( Note: Cost per bit aren't dropping much with more layers incase anyone is wondering.) I would be surprised if we could even push 4TB below $200 by 2025. Compared to a 4TB 2.5" external HDD which cost less than $100 today.
