I think 2TB is the biggest we will see a desktop drive; I wonder if this
approach would scale up and down to laptop drives? It may be that you
get higher density with that form factor... it will be more robust I
would think.
3TB desktop drives are already available. The first true 1TB laptop
drive came out recently; there was an earlier 2.5" 1TB drive from
Western Digital but it was too thick to fit in most modern laptops. I
think the amount of storage in both form factors will continue to grow
for a little while yet, especially since big drives are where all the
market potential is now as the small ones will be displaced by solid
state storage.
