We're talking prices roughly 3 years away, alot can happen in the industry in 3 years....to November 2020....Also SSD production and drive storage capacity is ramping up there, that's when you know things are about to hit a sweet spot for lesser capacity SSD drives.....It wasn't too long ago we had only 4 physical cores on our desktop CPU's, what are we seeing now? 8 cores 16 T's or by the time Ryzen 2 drops in 2019, how many, maybe 16 physical cores?.....I have not seen on aspect of technology that's at a standstill currently..Everything is being pushed forward; ram, storage, gpu, cpu's....I think it's always a difficult thing to predict/anticipate how things will pan out, if we're only looking at the current market with it's prices et al.......but if we're only looking at today to say how things will pan out tomorrow, that doesn't work for tech...Technology does not sleep...
Ok, suppose a PS5 had a 1-2TB SSD, there's no reason you can't also have a 16TB external to hold your games or even a 16TB internal drive? On the flip, do we really see a future in traditional drives forever. I think SSD's will takeover eventually....What technologies and advancements do you forsee with traditional disks with platters and spindles....14400rpm?...I don't think so...So yes, it may take a little while longer to phase out, but even traditional disks will be on the way out soon enough....Of course, not in 3 years, but SSD's are on the rise and will gain more widespread adoption in the next few years.....Perhaps what can usher SSD's as defacto in all devices, where prices and storage can gain better balance is if it was placed in a multi million selling console, just like what PS2 did for DVD's....
