Can someone explain why computers aren’t going away from sata (moving parts) hard drives and using instead RAM type (non moving part) Hard Drives?

I can't see this mattering too much, except for huge data centers. Is there anyone running out of disk space on home PCs, workstations or typical servers?

Are 1-2TB drives just too small?

I know that ours aren't anywhere near full, and 500MB+ drives (usually 2.5" in our rack-mounts) will easily keep us for a very long time.

I can remember paying $250 for a 500MB HardDrive at Frys back in the mid 90’s. Now they practically give away 4GB USB ThumbDrives.
