>>convenience will drive 14 million consumers to purchase personal video recorders (PVRs) by 2004....Can you see one of these with less than a 20 GB drive?<< I should hope not (unless it is wrist worn). I expect to have a choice from the market glut of 300GB (20GB x 1.63^5) drives under $120 ($360 x 0.80^5) by then. Sheesh, I love these disk drive guys! >>If that rate continues, 20-gigabit-density products would be available within three years. Over the past eight years, the average data-storage capacity of disk drives sold worldwide has increased more than 50-fold, while the price per gigabyte of such capacity has dropped nearly 300-fold.(a)<< exchange2000.com Of course in 5 years the hdd manufaturers, may be selling for twice what they are now. What that is in Internut dollars, you don't want to know. ; )
