   I don't think 64K sector size would be in my life time. :)   
      
   My quick research tells me that 512 sector size was introduced in 1977. 4K   
   sector was introduced in 2010. So, it took 33 years, from 512 to 4K -   
   skipping 1K and 2K. Since technology is growing exponentially, the next leap   
   might be on 2025 or it may take another 30 years or so - on 2040. With 8K or   
   16K.
