The Future of Disc Drives and Moore's Law
1:19:57 - 1:37:26 (17:29)
The history of disc drives points towards a trend of becoming smaller and smaller, and this matches with Gordon Moore's well-known law of doubling transistors every two years. However, experts believe that the computer industry is in need of radical change at a lower level that could affect the entire software stack due to the growth of data and technological advancements.

Summary
The prediction that the volume of disc drives was going to be small due to the history of their evolution proved to be inaccurate as redundancy became more necessary for larger storage systems. Flash technology has taken over as the preferred storage technology, being utilized across cellphones and most laptops, causing disc drives to stay in the cloud rather than in personal devices.
