OCZ: SSD and HDD prices same within five years

OCZ CEO Ryan Petersen says that he expects that in five years from now the price per gigabyte of solid state disks will almost match the price per gigabyte of hard disk drives.

At present SSDs are used in conjunction with hard drives in order to reduce boot-up time and accelerate performance of frequently used programs. However, that is going to change in the future as the price of flash will get closer to that of hard drives in terms of per gigabyte cost.
