It’s also interesting to note that semiconductor analysts are now question the future of semiconductor scaling. And NAND flash in particular has some potential scaling problems, lithography for advanced nodes has a lot of issues (EUV vs double patterning, etc), and the move to larger water sizes, which has helped reduce silicon costs, has ended (I don’t think 450-mm wafers will ever happen).

But overall, I agree with the premises — disk drives are not going away, but will shift to mass storage, not performance (IOW, FC drives have no future, and SAS/15K drives have a limited future), and flash (not necessarily using disk drive interfaces) will dominate high end and mobile.
