SSD will indeed replace the common mechanical hardrive.
Period.
As the current flash memory technology continues to improve through lower resistance, increased capacitance and improved thoroughput with more active transfer matrix mediums, the natural aspects of this technology will replace the current, modern hardrive.
To say it will NOT is ridiculus.
What you may see is the beginning of hybrid mechanical flash type drive tech that will support additional speeds, but higher capacities currently employed with Modern mechanical hardrives.
At least for the near term.
However, Flash memory technology is improving constantly, and I do not see mechanical hardrives ever maintaining their dominance through even through 2020.
I believe the demise is already enroute, and by 2015, the primary storage technology will be SSD.
The latest memory chip technology has created “stacked” silicon slivers with notably different mediums that are not affected by ohms law of resistance due to electrons not passing and scattering signals like typical silicon.
What makes it “stacked” is the quality of the “semiconductor material” is slightly different on each level which produces different resistances.
Therefore, you can add 10 times the memory in the same space typically taken up by todays simple flash chip.
This also works for Processors.
So.. do you think mechanical hardrives will survive now?

Well, I m sold on replacing my Acer main drive with an SSD. Probably a Patriot 64. I am only conceerned about how to get the OS onto it as the system came without disks. I suppose a back up and replace might work. But I’d hate to have to buy another OS just to swap the drive.

I plan on replacing the SSD in my Macbook Pro, but I’m not sure which SSD to get. Sites like http://www.ssdmix.com are great for review purposes, but it’s always great to get first hand knowledge like what you posted. I’m not convinced the Patriot 128GB would be my best option, I think I’m going to splurge for the Intel X25-M.

I use a SSD drive for my OS on a MacPro I had to make a bracket for the 2.5″ to plug into the 3.5″ Sata II slot
bad I’m happy with the performance .

Patriot now has a 256gb SSD, can’t find one or the price today 01/25/09. I have replace my 320gb
Fujitsu drive in my HP dl9743cl laptop with the Patriot 128 gb SSD as primary and now use the 320 gb for seconday storage only. As a beta tester for Windows 7 I can tell ya the SSD made a great perfromance boost to my laptop. When SSD prices drop and sizes increase to 1tb and beyond I will
make an SSD my storage drive also mostly for increased battery life reasons more than performance.
NOTE: I initially went to the SSD due to the great perfromance of my MAC Book Air that runs VISTA and has 128 gb SSD.

mr Kristofer Brozio may be correct the the SSD will not replace the standard hard drive for mere storage purposes, however they will in short order totally replace standard hard drives as a boot disk for the Operating System and any other high performance games or other software requiring high speed read and write. They simply don’t need to be 1TB in size……..

I’ve already replaced all my boot drives (desktops and notebooks) with these. I’d say that’s pretty mainstream…
