Considering we haven’t vanquished tape yet, I think HDDs are going to be around for a while.
Speaking about tape, the LTO standard is still evolving. According to the roadmap on their side, LTO-14 will store up to 1.44PB (1440TB) per cartridge (compressed).

Not so much the demise of the HDD, it’s just a rubbish carrier for portable music. I don’t like them for music servers either, they’re noisy. SSDs that can hold large collections have got to be a good thing. Tape’s great as an archive of last resort…
