As the new and incredibly-fast kids on the block, solid-state drives get a lot of attention these days—particularly as they get large enough to handle the average user’s everyday needs without the services of a second drive.

In an earnings call this week , Seagate’s CEO Steve Luczo revealed that the company will release those drives in the next 12 to 18 months.
