I'm skeptical at the moment. The only thing that could closely compete with the storage capacity of current "spinning storage" would be those IBM cube storage devices which I briefly read about a year or so ago (imagine a cube, then 2 lasers at a perpendicular angle shooting at the cube to meet at 1 point). Yet, at a later date I read an article discussing some new method that would place quite a bit of data (over 20gb) on the size of a penny. The storage "writer" for the device was only conceptual at the moment though (it was in a popular science magazine....don't remember which one). I don't remember if it was a "spinner" but if I had to take a guess, I would say it was. Of course, both of these technologies are not anywhere close to being consumer devices. I somewhat agree with you that eventually spinning storage may give way, just not the 2-4 year time frame. The "spinners" have certainly demonstrated they can add on storage quantities at a rapid pace. On the other hand, non-movable is in its infancy. Remember, tape drives are still use for mass-storage.
