Video of ceramic storage system prototype surfaces online — 10,000TB cartridges bombarded with laser rays could become mainstream by 2030, making slow hard drives and tapes obsolete

Ceramics-based storage medium consumes very little energy and lasts more than 5,000 years, creators say

Those totally look like the isolinear chips from Star Trek

    Obviously I’m not saying storage technology doesn’t improve. But it’s incremental improvements, not exponential like these stories always claim.

      idk, I’ve still got some 512kb floppies somewhere.
      Next to me is a 512GB flash drive.
      1997 - 2023 is 26 years for a 1,000,000x larger storage device.
      So come 2049, that should be at 512PB, they’re forecasting 10PB.

      I say it sounds reasonable enough.
