Well, I guess priceper capacity drops will slow down. But I have
to admit that my personal storage capacity need have also
slowed to grow. In fact, after I bought a few 3TB drives
for backups before the flooed in Thailand, the only drives
I expect to buy in the next 2-3 years are replacements for
fefective ones. And after I bought two 1TB notebook drives
as replacements for mis-diagnosed disk problems (was a PSU that
had prolemns with a CPU pugrade, produced enough noise to
habe disks fail, fortunately temporary), I may not need to buy
any disks in the next 2-3 years, not even an SSD.

So I am not too concerned. I expect that HDDs will get to be
standardized commodity products pretty soon and those are always
reasonably cheap. That also means procress will slow down,
but I do not see a problem with that either.
