I very much would like to purchase this hard drive here, because I would like to experience its superior performance over this drive, the one that I currently have, but I simply cannot justify paying nearly four times the price for a 10,000 RPM hard drive over a 7,200 RPM drive.
Therefore, I wonder how the 10,000 RPM drive can still be so expensive, especially with solid-state drives decreasing in price and increasing in capacities. Although solid-state drives are still more expensive, per gigabyte, than either 7,200 RPM or even 10,000 RPM hard drives, some serious users would gladly pay the additional price for the (ideally) vastly superior performance of the solid-state drives. Therefore, in my mind, as the prices of solid-state drives continue to decrease, the 10,000 RPM hard drives will not be able to compete with them, unless their prices decrease nearly as much as the prices of 7,200 RPM drives have.
What does everyone else here have to say? Can you offer any insight into this situation? I eagerly await your responses.
