[1] "Moore's Law" describes an important trend in the history of computer hardware: that the number of transistors that can be inexpensively placed on an integrated circuit is increasing exponentially, doubling approximately every two years.
A similar law (sometimes called "Kryder's Law") has held for hard disk storage cost per unit of information. Disk storage over the past decades has actually sped up more than once, corresponding to the utilization of error correcting codes, the magneto-resistive effect and the giant magneto-resistive effect. The current rate of increase in hard drive capacity is roughly similar to the rate of increase in transistor count. Recent trends show that this rate has been maintained into 2007.
