With the advent of tablets and solid state drives and also the cloud, are hard drives in computers a thing of the past?

And I think many people still prefer to keep a copy of their content locally. So I think hard drives or at least hybrid sad/hard drives will reign for some time.

I think for most applications ssd's are well on the way to taking over, not quite there yet, but another year-18 months and they will be... Cost/gb currently limits practical size to slightly smaller than most people probably want... But it's getting there.

Where do you think the cloud stores your data?

HDs are going to be in use for years to come.
