Its a cost issue. Solid state is still too expensive.

Hard drives will eventually be obsoleted by solid state memory devices........ Perhaps, but will be be as cheap as 10,000 GB hard drives then? I want to store all the information in the universe on my home computer.

Hard drives are the unsung heroes of the computer industry.
The amount of precision required is akin to flying an F15 figher jet across the country, one foot off the ground, without crashing.

The amount of precision required is akin to flying an F15 figher jet across the country, one foot off the ground, without crashing. All the more amazing when you see how they test HDD for robustness. Imagine standing the thing on in edge & letting it fall flat while it was reading. When I used to buy them (5 or 6 years ago) this kind of 'drop testing' was the standard.
I'm sure the testing has only become more rigorous since.
