When such drives can be proven to be mass produced and then get under the sub-$400 cost to be within the end users budget then it will be relevant. There were video cards in the multi-thousand price but consumers weren't buying them. There are all sorts of these what-if experiments going on all the time. They're not important to consumers until production happens and the price is affordable. |

Wasn't there a press release for IBM's 10 TB holographic drive about ten years ago or so? Haven't heard anything since then. Lynn |

And before that, there was bubble-memory with much the same problematic access model. Maybe they can compete with SSDs eventually for some applications, but plain old HDDs are just far too cheap per byte to get beaten anytime soon. Arno |

Each track in a spinning hard disk is a racetrack, isn't it? No, although it's very vague what the racetrack is exactly, they definitely made the point of saying that it's *not* a spinning mechanical device of any kind. Closer to flash than hard drive. They were also suggesting that they could replace the flash with this racetrack memory, and it would be indistinguishable to the controller. Yousuf Khan |
