< I wonder if there is hard disk equivalent of Moore's law, and how it compares with semiconductor one (faster or slower?). I would really like the semiconductors to catch up.> The semiconductor memory and the hard disk drive industry have been in a parallel price fall for the last thirty years. The disk industry has benefited from and the steady fall in the price and improved performance of the support electronics, and has also benefited from improvements in lithography.[ In early 80's I spent $20,000 for a 10MB hard disk for a PDP-11 computer !] I guess you could say Moore's Law also applies to hard disk drives.Unforntunately the seek time of hard disks has not improved dramatically.
