or just straight into solid state memory you can already buy 34gb 2.5" solid state drives. I was looking into buying one for my mini-itx pc the seek time is 0ms

Those are very, VERY expensive... 32GB is the only capacity available, and they retail for around 500.
 
At the moment yes but that will change rapidly, in a couple of years the only mechanical drives being made will be legacy and for budget systems.

I expect we won't see mainstream 10k drives, we may not even see hybrid drives, though if we do it will only be for a brief transitory period.
 
yes $500 is what your prepared to pay or a graphics card but not a hdd people change there priorities and seeing as my HTPC is not going to have a graphics card I think a flash disk would be great to own lol when I buy this pc I will tell you guys how well they work and if it has a great improvement over the seagate barracuda 1tb I'am also planning to put in it :D
