I can recall six years out from the end of floppy disks that it was
already pretty obvious that they were going to be gone soon. I get the
same feeling with HDD's.


How much will a 50TB SSD cost versus Seagate's 50TB HDD?


Spinning drives will be around until the cost of SSD storage
reaches parity with them.


Ditto. Huge sized SSDs are still too expensive.
