Im wondering what servers will be like in 3-5 years time. The ones we have now serve our needs fine but having researched the limitations of home solutions I wonder what we'll use to improve them.
My guess is that solid state drives will eventually replace HDDs. They can't keep finding new ways to store more data on those disks can they? SSDs seem perfect as they r low power and very fast.
Ill be using my current server for media streaming. A bluray rip peaks at around 50MB/sec which is easily done with HDDs and sata 2. What will be the solution when films come out in a higher resolution? Ive heard people mention 4k as a new format for the future. Assuming its 4x the data of blurays then we won't be able to use HDDs as they don't read that fast.
Id like to see into the future and see when SDDs are as big as HDDs and come down to sensible prices. Ill also take a note of the lottery results
