Which hard drive form factor do you think will die first?

For 2.5" HDD, I wonder if we will eventually see drives thicker than 15mm?

This, of course, for more platters.

According to the following link the original thickness was 19mm:

2.5" is still going to be in laptops thicker than ultrabooks because its cheaper and draws more attention to have a big slow 5400rpm spinner. Average laptop customers are none too wise o

1TB HDD, at 5400 RPM, as opposed to a 128GB SSD....

How Bigly!
