how soon can we expect this capacity to fit in a usb stick?

  You could probably build one today, but if you mean for a reasonable cost, then it's probably 15-20 years depending if storage doubles every 18 months or 2 years.

    > You could probably build one today you mean the technology to achieve such density already exists? that's interesting. do you expect storage to keep up with moore's law?

      You can already buy 512GB USB drives, because you don't need to power them while not in use you can basically stack them indefinitely the only question is would you conciser a 50 pound USB device a USB stick and would you pay several hundred k to do so? Storage has experienced rapid exponential growth for a while. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hard_drive_capacity_over_time.svg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hard_drive_capacity_over_t...
