SATA SSD's a thing of the past?

[nzoomed]

Tried to buy an IDE lately :-)
SATA SSD will of course be phased out , as the market for them dries up.
A few techies buying them wont be enough to justify the major brands keeping them in production.

Im sure some of the brands will keep selling them for quite some time, but prices might crank up as they get less popular .

I would have thought that as long as SATA ports are a thing on motherboards, then SATA SSDs would be around.
I would have thought that we would be seeing more larger SATA SSDs in place of hard disks with the advancements we are seeing with flash memory. Cost per GB has come down a long way.
