DampeS8N, in your first post, you started out sounding a
little cynical about current technology, making strong
points about the perks of old technology, (tactile qualities,
art, etc) but then you kind of lost your cynicism when you
started descibing all of the cool future technologies
(implants, etc). So, I'm confused. Are you for or against
all of this? ;)
Now back on topic.
Whatever the result of this battle, the winner will only
own the industry for 10, maybe 20 years.
Solid state storage is the future (the near future, even)
The only drawback right now is cost. Once that comes
down, there will be no more spinning disks holding our
data.
That is, unless this amazing new format really takes off.
160 terrabyte storage, 120MBs transfer rate and an
archival time of 50 years. I mean, come on!
These two giants might lose sooner than we think, if tech
like this develops or if Flash memory becomes cheaper.
