I figure sooner as i’d assume HDD costs will increase as the sales volume goes down
Almost all consumer goods are already SSD at this point.
Anytime a HDD goes out in anything at this point it gets replaced with a SSD.
Only things i’d stick with HDD for at this point is heavy storage like NVRs and backups.
Most modern laptops don’t even have a place to put a HDD and I can’t even complain about it you can put way more storage in a m.2 than you can in a 2.5" 9.5mm hdd.
HDDs will still be profitable for at least several years but it’s pretty clear that SSDs are where the market is going.
Someone posted a graph and at current rates the cost per GB should converge around 2030 assuming current trends continue.
