What does the future hold for drives, 10 years from now?
10 years ago we had much lower space, and prices are great today, but I wonder if, as the world moves towards a dependency on streaming and cloud services, this same improvement won't be repeated the next 10 years... I'm particularly interested in having a laptop with 6-8tb+, (I don't want to deal with external drives for anything other than backups of what I have in that hypothetical computer) but I'm fearing that people's demand may neglect this possibility, since at 1tb most have more than plenty for the rest of their life.

Do you understand that EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF DATA in the world is stored on a hard drive somewhere? Spinning, solid state, doesn't matter.
Everything is on a hard drive.
Are you sure you want to trust other people to hold all your information? Are you an idiot?
Yes, you are. Not even gonna give you an image.
Hopefully no more magnetic spinning shitters.
Every drive should be SOLID STATE NIGGA.
Can't wait to replace those stupid actuators and read/write heads with STURDY SOLID CELLS.
FUCK YOU MAGNETIC DRIVES.

I don't use streaming.

Server hardware eventually trickles down to consumer hardware.
There are 5tb+ SSDs available now, just in a server form factor/price. The thing is, I was saying that exact sentence about a 2tb HDD a while back.
It doesn't matter THAT much about what the consumer wants in the present, because what the business owner wanted last year is what's driving things in the background.
