What happened to Fujitsu?

They got out of 3.5" drives a very long time ago now.

I think we're left with just Western Digital and Seagate now? If this
isn't a sign that we should be moving to SSD's very soon, I don't know
what is.

But SSD sizes are still problematic. We want HUGE sizes! Also, longevity
with data with the limited writes.

Yeah, but those prices are coming down much faster than they are with hard disks, it shouldn't be more than 5 years before these two are close to price parity in terms of capacity. The SSD is already well beyond price parity in terms of performance.

There is a distinct air of a buggy-whip industry floating around the hard disk industry.
