2008: Another Slow Year for Hard Drives @ CoolTechZone.com
 

We declared 2008 the year of Solid State Storage, but what about your standard, run-of-the-mill hard drives? What's going to happen in that part of the industry? In one word: nothing. That's right, the ever depressing industry is going to relax with normal hard drives and focus their entire attention on SSD units. It makes sense, but the price point on SSDs is not going to be low enough for mainstream adoption, at least not this year. For those of us who are going to stick with platter-based drives, we would still like to see some innovation take place. No such luck, said the companies we talked to at CES 2008.
