"In 2005 Samsung marked the beginning of the end of the hard disk drive (HDD) by announcing that the "future is flash memory". In 2012 the launch of the third generation of Apple iPad celebrates a firm shift to flash storage for highly portable computer platforms used by millions; the nails appear to be going into the HDD coffin. Just to assist its final hours Earthquakes, Tsunamis and Floods have recently crippled HDD production.
Is this the HDD extinction event? What is really going on? Is the HDD industry in its death throes? What can we learn from history and what is the next great technology? Some of these questions might be answered on May 8th."
