Mech drives will still be around for at least a few more years possibly more. If you look at the actual benchmarks most SSD's are very disappointing in performance and failure levels. SSD has a lot of promise but so far not even close to living up to it. Price is too high, performance gains are not consistent, failure levels on some of these drives are terrible compared to the mech drives and obviously capacity isn't there yet.
