Just note how long tape drives stayed with us after the introduction of the harddisk.
I read an artical a few weeks ago about a new SSD that will be released this spring or summer that is already up to 832GB with a 2.5" SATA interface, so size wise they are catching up fast. The price is the real issue, as you can imagine that drive will cost at least $10,000.
