Interesting. Not sure it will head SSDs off at the pass, but a good try to address one of the advantages of solid state. Unfortunately for the HD sector, they will always have moving parts, they will always generate heat, they will always require more power and more stringent temperature controlled conditions than SSDs, and each drive will always have a price below which it will be impossible to go. They will be around for a long time--after all, tape is still around and people have been saying that it will disappear for about 20 years now--but they will be supplanted in a lot of applications at the end of the day.

Well, if I would have thought about that article for what it was claiming instead of what it didn't accomplish, I would have realized that what it was-- Update April Fools! [blush] Thread heads is an absurdity! It would take some kind of magic for each one to keep out of the way of the other two. At least, looking at the comments, I wasn't the only one who fell for it. EDIT: Well, reading over more of the comments, some of the posters think it might actually work. I doubt it, BWTFDIK?
