one tiny scratch and you lose gigabytes of data!
reading the poorly written article, apparently for them a petabyte of data does not equal ~1,000 terabytes or ~1,000,000 gigabytes, but somehow a DVD-sized disc would only hold 125,000 gigs... so an eighth of PB?
And a storage array of discs high enough to hold a PB would be only 200 centimeters, but the same array out of DVD would be much higher at 2 meters.
Last time I checked, 200 centimeters = 2 meters.
Maybe they're missing a zero somewhere. If I had to guess, 2 meters = a stack of bluray players at 50GB apiece to equal a PB, and just 20 cm for 8 drives for the PB array on this new media.
The valuable part here is 54nm of vertical space split into 100 layers can be read with this new method.
If the article is to be believed...
