Wonder when Moores law will no longer apply. Still chip level storage has its limitations of density and longevity. I admit that I am not up on the technology, though but flash devices had a limited number of writes and a 10 year life. Chip storage technology uses the same ECC process as in hard drives.

I worked in the storage industry a few years ago. Back when a full rack cabinet held 8GB. Lol.

Just my observation and maybe in line with your point — who needs 2TB? The average consumer can get by with at max 500GB. So maybe SSDs will become more compelling for consumers. They certainly consume less power and are ideally suited for mobile computing.

Those who need large capacity are those who want to keep and stockpile large amounts of information, i.e., the federal government.

who needs 2TB?
Who could possibly need more than 640k RAM?

Or people who collect movies, music and/or photographs.
