The future of PC storage are not SATA III capable hard disks but SSDs. SSD (Solid State Drive) uses solid state memory, in other words, there are no physical or mechanical parts moving inside. These drives utilizes electrons, and and other charge elements to carry data, like your ICs today or your standard LED. SSD technology partically uses SRAMs or DRAMs to save data, in layman terms, it is basically a hard drive that uses RAMS as their choice to save data rather than magnetic disk.

SSD drives are said to perform a lot faster compared to your ordinary hard disk drive because they have no moving part unlike in your hard disk where the magnetic tip has to wait for the certain part of the spinning hard disk to touch it so that it can collect the data needed. But as of now, there are still some few issues with the SSD drives, the first issue is the price per byte, SSD are really expensive, twice to thrice the price of your normal Hard disk but only has less than or equal to 1/3 of the normal HD capacity. There are some issues with the on board controller, every SSD that are not using the INTEL chip, have issues with slowness when doing both Read and write at the same time, and also its been suffering to Wear levelling, SSD becomes slower when used very often, and most important issue is that the SSD are becoming really slow when there are little space left, like your ordinary RAM, but fear not, give it a year or two, SSD will be the new norm in PC storage, EIJAN GUARANTEES IT!
