There's no "Moore's Law" for storage yet, that I know of. We've been at 1-3TB disks for, what, 6 years now?

- jamestnz 13y agoIn fact, storage-area density apparently increases more rapidly than does transistor density (i.e. Moore's law). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Kryder#Kryder.27s_Law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Kryder#Kryder.27s_Law A PhysOrg.com article reports on a 2009 study by Mark Kryder. According to the report, if hard drives continue to progress at their current pace, then in 2020 a two-platter, 2.5-inch disk drive will be capable of storing more than 14 terabytes (TB) and will cost about $40.

- qnr 13y agoHuh? 1tb hdd was released in 2007, 2tb in 2009 and 4tb in 2011. Looks exactly like Moore's law to me though we've been set back by Thai floods of 2011.
