Flash is down to "only" 2x price of regular harddisks for several TB. Sure new HDDs are large, but they're expensive, and it seems unreasonable to me the new HAMR tech will be different.
Simple extrapolation puts the crossover a few years into the future last I checked, though there are other aspects as well.
Will HDDs die next decade? Surely not. But given flash can go 3D surely its just a question of time until HDDs are like tapes now.
