Eventually? - probably. But it will be some time before 1TB solid state
AFFORDABLE drives are available.

Why do you need 1Tb SSD in your computer? Store your data on a RAID NAS with HDD. That way you can afford to have a small but fast SSD that helps your computer boot in seconds, store your data in a safe place, access it from other computers in your house or even from outside. And archive your data on HDD's.

I am on my first SSD, I have heard they might not last long. I have changed some settings on my system to be SSD friendly and not abuse it. Even if it fails in 6 months I would buy the same one again.

Mine is a 60Gb, I have read less storage gives more reliability and is cheap enough to be replaced yet big enough to hold my system.
