Niall’s virtual diary archives – Tuesday 31st May 2016

Tuesday 31st May 2016: 10.52pm.

As at every time this year for the 1st June, here is the latest trend graph for consumer hard drives vs SSDs per inflation adjusted dollar between 1980 and right now in 2016. Very little has changed since last year, everything is following their trend line. The SSDs trend curve has raised itself slightly but still shows no sign of ever intercepting the hard drive trend line. I think it'll take a whole new post-flash technology to make hard drives obsolete.
