LOL - actually hard drives are still useful - I'll pass on SSD for now - it needs to be perfected and certain things sorted out - 80 GB is nothing - For people working in video editing, graphics, rendering, production, audio who work with huge files and need storage, 80GB won't cut it - unless they start making 500GB, and 1 TB SSDs - but I'm thinking of how many HDDs I can buy with the price of 1 SSD - when I buy HDDs now they are so cheap that I buy them in pairs or more and use those as 1:1 backups.
