What is the upper limit of computer storage? Will we ever need

178KB, 450x590px

10 megabyte HDD.

i think it is 1 tb per square cm right now

More importantly, will traditional HDDs keep getting faster? It'd be kind of nice if HDDs got fast enough to compete with SSDs.

Unlikely, spin speed is the factor in question, which other than possibly some advancement in helium-filled drives is not going to be able to compete with an SSD (moving parts vs. no moving parts).

upper limit is 8Kb.

HDD are near the top of their performance. It's a physical thing. SSD are the future but time goes 24 hours a day...

We'll be laughing at this 10 years from now.

DNA storage might be next 10+ years from now.

I'm gonna be just like Johnny Mnemonic!

does /g/ believe that in the future there is gonna be a hard drive with infinitive capacity, which means, that it will be able to save and write data into infinity

??

IT IS NOT GOING TO STOP
IT'S NOT A FAD

$200 per megabyte

>Not bad

LOL

Unlimited storage for everyone!

No you fucking idiot

For reasons that would take too long to explain, that is against the laws of thermodynamics

SSDs are fast because they're solid state. A mechanical hard drive will never be able to compete with the speed of electronics.
