all we needs a array of Memory. Much faster then a Hard disk.

Much more expensive though

This new tech sounds great but it also seems that there is much greater chance of a failure in the disk....the tolerances are very high.

Hitachi achieved the 230 Gb/in2 density by manipulating the head and media so that the distance between them is a mere 10 nanometers or 1/10,000th of a human hair.

I think I'm going to follow the old rule of 'let someone else try it first'

Arguably, one of the better rules.

I'd like some duotronic or isolinear tech though. Apart from the exploding, it seems pretty reliable.

Yeah, but if there's no risk of explosion....................where's the fun in that?
