I was shocked when I came across this link that shows such decrease in the price of creating a 1GB hard drive since 50 years ago.

I remember my first "decent" computer had 96MB of ram as well as a silly 8GB drive costing over £1,0007

Nice article.

Nice article.

Why is it a nice article? What size is your hard drive today and how much would it have cost 50 years ago?

HDDs are dirt cheap now , the future is in SSDs.

Would agree with this. More durable. The price is coming down too, and it seems to be a no brainer to have both with the current low price of a HDD and the pros of an SSD.

have to take into account that it is a new thing, it does not have much time to use, and optimization

The technology is constantly evolving. When computers appeared, for example, they were the size of a room and its price was too high and were obviously not for everyone!
When they began to develop computers to sell to "ordinary" people, at first were still expensive, but as people started buying prices fell. Interestingly, the great evolution that has the technology and the hard drives is equal ...

nah my first drive had like 40 GB if i remember right or 80Gb , it was pretty decent at the time for me 2001-2002

SSD are nowadays popular.

Plus PC's are faster with SSD.

The prices of HDD will continue decreasing..

[roullie666]

I've been using SSD its capacity is a bit low only 60GB and it costs like a 500GB HDD. But SSD are more faster. I don't know if your only refer to HDD.

[turbopt]

Will happen the same with SSD, now are a little expensive
