Current HD's aren't going anywhere. Price issues aside, SSD's have really low writing performance. Anybody who's tried to copy large amounts of data from a HD to a USB disk should have noticed.Gog

What we need is a new SSD memory standard and those aren't exactly blazing trails right now. NAND isn't ideal for writing also due to the limited number of write cycles. USB 3.0 should be coming within the next couple of years and PCI-E 3.0 as well so write speed shouldn't be an issue provided we actually get a storage technology capable of utilizing all that bandwidth.

NAND SSDs are likely going to just end up on thinclient systems or go the way of bubble memory, who wants to start a pool on nanowires?

Does it respect color profiles?

What needs to happen is that we need SSDs that last longer (flash is only good for around 200,000 writes) and we need it to be more cost effective..but something has to give. HDDs today are quickly becoming like tape-storage was twenty years ago..too slow to keep up with the surrounding system.

PCI-E even x8 is much faster than a HDD's writing speed, there are internet connections that exist today and more coming that can download faster than a HDD can store it, disc/platter-based storage is going to have to go at some point fairly soon.

Get a little world-travel under your belt, maybe you won't be so ignorant and ungrateful. Do you have 3 meals a day? Probably, if you can afford that computer you're typing on. There are millions of people in this world that would give their right arm to be sitting where you're sitting, maybe you shouldn't judge your own country so harshly. I'm sure some people out there would like to judge their own country, but they're too busy fighting off warlords and desperately trying to find food for their starving families.

Because in every other country is just like Ethiopia during a drought..yeah.

Sony copies everything.. Who came out with the Handheld first? Who had motion control first? Who had the idea of creating people has profiles?brettneo3012

ms-dos is a disk reader not a console sure it read game disks but what acctualy ran it ,computers made by other companys.potato66

Actually its a CLI operating system that Microsoft bought up from Seattle Computer Products and renamed who copied it from CP/M from Digital Research all of who got some of their ideas from The Mother of All Demos that Douglas Engelbart gave in the late sixties.
