This has already happened, SSD's have been here for years and will only grow

Implications: Cisco, Nortel, Juniper, F5, etc. have been using SSD technology for several years already in many of their enterprise products. The only difference now is that prices are much, much more favorable to the customer.

Analysis: Many major networking hardware/ruggedized computer manufacturers/avionics-think flight data recorder/military customers have been using SSD's in their designs for several years. Now, much more attention is being focused on this non-phenomenon due to the dramatic reductions in NAND flash pricing. As NAND prices continue to drop, the fact of the matter is more and more design engineers will begin to choose SSD over HDD. When it fits in their budget, they will do it. This is simply a reality..at this time the perfect storm of SSD adoption will only occur when flash prices drop further.
