Who exactly is reading this backwards? That's a bit of a straw man.
I think you're jumping the gun a bit ruling that storage capacity is already slowing down; I tend to agree it's just around the corner, but this chart definitely does not indicate a conclusive trend in already released drives:

- wazoox 14y agoI'm counting only the highest available capacity drives in 3.5" format. If you mix various physical sizes it changes the overall tendency quite a bit. Until around 1999 (availability of 50GB 3.5" drives) the biggest available drives were 5.25" (up to 43 GB). 5.25" drives were also much more common than 3.5" drives during all of the 80s. That's why I'm counting starting in 1990, which flattens the curves.
