Will HDD become extinct?
If SSD can reach TB easily at lower cost:

Probably.
For someone who put down that he is a senior lecturer it surprises me that you don't provide a link to the full article and tell us where it come from. |
There are 10TB platter drives around the corner and 100TB drives at universities being worked on. I have a 24TB NAS that will be 40 before the end of 2014 SSD's can't get cheap enough fast enough. There is the issue of data recovery, TRIM kinda eliminates the ability to recover from a corrupted drive. SSD's will replace platter drives platter drivers in the consumer space before long say '15..

Consider that tape, as a storage medium, is not extinct.

For home user, I think 1-2TB SSD will be enough, I will choose SSD instead of HDD, in the next few years when I upgrade my PC. |

What is the advantage of using tape?
I think the magnetic tape will spoil easier? How big is its capacity? |

u tell me, save my time :D

Reliability[edit]
Tape failure typically result in the loss of some hundreds of megabytes of data, while disk failures can cost terabytes. CERN has experienced failure rates 10^6 higher data losses on disk-based data.[1] Durability[edit] Tapes typically last decades, while disk storage is rarely reliable after 5 years.[1] In 2011, Fujifilm and IBM announced that they had managed to record 29.5 billion bits per square inch with magnetic tape media developed using the BaFe particles and nanotechnologies allowing for an uncompressed tape drive of 35TB.[20][21] The technology is not expected to be commercially available for at least another decade. Look like tape has its superiority. |
Will HDD become extinct?
At least for my system, HDD is a thing of the past. SSD all the way.
Imagine, one day we'll tell our grand kids when we used HD drives and the 5 miles of snow and etc :) |

Do u have enough storage with your SSD? How many GB? |

At home I'm a packrat, I have documents and software and images of old PCs dating back close on 20 years (including a VM of a Windows 3.11 machine) so I have standard SATA drives for that (2 x 2Tb). So, to answer the OP, YES, HDD will become extinct, as to when.... not for a good few years yet. It'll only really be when the capacity and cost/Gb of SSD drops below that of spinners. Even when SSD replaces spinners I think tape will still be around for long-term backup. |
SSD's will become extinct too. I suspect a 3D sort of storage maybe optical or such?
Or the world will almost end with the few left ignoring technology, just trying to survive. |
I worked in Seagate before, the processes to make a HDD are so awesome,
many parts require high precision technology, very labor intensive, need clean room facility. I hope a simpler product with simpler processes can replace HDD. |
