    Moore's Law has absolutely nothing to do with storage densities. Those are moving FAR faster than Moore's Law if bits were considered equivalent to transistors.

    Ahh...they are not even available yet. At any price. When available, they will apparently be priced at $400 which is something of a price premium in terms of cost per GB when compared to current 500 GB drives. It will take some time for them to "keep getting cheaper".
