Despite all the improvements in Hard Drive technology, they are soon to become obsolete. How do I know this? Well, it has to happen. The Hard Drive contains a chunk of metal spinning at about 5000 rpm with little heads suspended just above the surface reading and writing data using magnetic pulses.. they are fragile, power hungry and they all fail in the end. Often before failing they get noisy.

The future is the SSD, the Sold State Drive which is faster, silent, much more reliable and unfortunately still much more expensive.

SSD drives are catching up in terms of capacity, and the price is falling all the time. Within a few short years the old hard drive will be like the CRT monitor, we will wonder how the hell we ever put up with them!
