It'll be 2022 before I can afford one though... (I still have a 128Gb SSD).

- zanny 12y agoWell, in 2010 a 256GB ssd was upwards of $500+. Today, a TB SSD costs that. So yeah, capacity for price increases 4x over in 4 years. So 2022 is a good estimate for commodity 4TB SSDs. I wonder if we will ever get nand storage below mechanical in price per GB. Even in 2022 I can image 8 - 10 TB mechanical disks being only $100 still, while the 2TB SSDs cost about that. Because by then we are probably hitting some physical limits.
- sitkack 12y ago3.5 years for commodity 4TB SSD or less. I have a 1TB SSD, would gladly switch to a 2TB model for twice the price. As the Sandisk announcement shows, it is market not physical forces that will get us to 4TB.
- frozenport 12y agoRAID
- kondro 12y agoIn a notebook?
- frozenport 12y agoIts quite common, I have one for example.
- sitkack 12y agoOnly the Lenovo W series supports RAID afaik.
- frozenport 12y agoMy laptop is an Asus g7. A college of mine did some tricks to get a RAID0 in his macbook pro. The future is now.
- sitkack 12y agoI know, I was waiting. I have the optibay in MBP15 with a rotational disk for backups since SSDs have been so unreliable. The 1TB samsung has been amazing. You are correct, I should swap out the 1TB rotational for another 1TB and run RAID.
- kondro 12y agoAt this point you'll probably get the most increased performance by upgrading your MBP rather than RAID its storage.
- sitkack 12y agoI do want more Performance, but I really want more and faster storage so I think RAIDing another 1TB SSD is in order. And I couldn't get this with a new MBP. I think they only will accept a single PCIe drive.
- mikhailt 12y agoI foresee two types for popular SSDs. 1. MLC at 512GB-1TB is all that needed for the boot/app drives for the next 5 years. They're already at decent prices, 3D stacked chips and another smaller process should be possible within 5 years to bring 1TB to about 200$. 2. TLC at 4TB+ for media/archival storage. I'd foresee 2TB TLC drive at 100$ within 5 years.
