With 1 terabyte drives now commonly available under $100 I think the
money part of the equation is working in favor of storing large bit
depth & word length files. Time is more precious, since each cloning,
exportation, process, etc, takes longer.

<< there

Valid point. With large format SSD's right around the corner, in terms
of price & capacity, are we soon to see our landfills thick with
mechanical hard drive mechanisms? Maybe they can be melted down &
reutilized.
