I’m surprised the industry is still so focused on spinning disk for storage, but considering the longevity and rewriteability of spinning disk vs. SSD, I suppose there’s room for improvement.

Could 10TiB - 15 TiB spinning disk be in our future?

People have been predicting “the end of hard disk drives in 3 years”...for the last 15 years. They always come up with something to increase the bit density. It’s going to be a while before semiconductor memory hits the cost per bit shown in this article.
