Tinroad, that new memory you posted about requires moving parts. It sounds like great technology. I think it is more competition to optical drives and hard drives. You probably can't throw it around like flash and it must use more power for it's alignment circuitry.

Technology never stops or even slows down, it continues at an exponential pace.

Although the system is described as solid-state, it does require moving parts to roughly align an optical system above the storage medium and to focus the beam used for writing, reading, and erasing data. Focusing is used to provide fine control of the addressing in "x", "y", and "z" directions, with the variable focus and transparent microscopic layers used to store data in three dimensions.
