In 2014, laptops shipping with solid-state drives (SSDs) were just over 20% of the total market. There are projections that this could increase considerably over the next few years, possibly reaching over 50% of the market by 2017 [1]. This trend is driven by the decreasing costs for SSD storage capacity and the longer battery life that is possible with SSD laptops. Presently, SSDs with 256-GB capacity sell for about US$90. SSDs are still at least four-times more expensive in US$/GB than hard-disk drives (HDDs) (a 1-TB notebook HDD sells for about US$50 while a 1-TB SSD sells for about US$400) [2]. A 256-GB storage capacity is enough to hold many applications and two operating systems, with some room for data storage. |
