AllahWhen can we expect 500TB drives to be available?
I am so tired of people, especially people who pretend to be computer experts online, completely failing to understand what Moore’s Law is.
Moore’s Law != “Technology improves over time”
It’s an observation that semiconductor transistor density roughly doubles every ~2 years. That’s it. It doesn’t apply to anything else.
And also for the record, Moore’s Law has been dead for a long time now. Getting large transistor density improvements is hard.
I’m gonna go on “no stupid question” and ask why my old hard drives aren’t doubling in size.
Mechanical hard drives are not 100% semiconductors like SSDs. You need improvements on materials science to cram more signal retention on paramagnetic materials.
As for SSDs, milking the current stock is part of it.
