No more need of both ram and a ssd, they will be combined into a single super fast storage drive (or non-volatile ram).

I actually really like that idea.

 

 

As for my thoughts, realistically either the evolution of SATA or it's decline and eventual abandonment.  Which is kind of happening right now.

SATA is far from abandonment. Even though SATA has reached its maximum possible speed without a new evolution (which is highly unlikely, given the development of NVMe), HDDs are still king for bulk data storage due to their lower costs. Since HDDs have yet to reach SATA III speeds (and are unlikely to do so in the foreseeable future), SATA (and SAS) will be around for a long time. HDDs have been increasing in capacity faster than SSDs, espeically the NVMe versions.

Quantum computers are best at specific things and they have to be in very specific environments. I think the next advancement in the transistor (As Warrie said) will be a different material, not necessarily carbon nanotubes but possibly a new type of polymer or carbon-based material.
