Yeah, my first thought even before reading the article, was "What about seek times?". Maybe it can be improved, but thinking of web apps specifically, I'm not sure what kind of use case you would have for something that is this slow to access.
- EastOfTruth 5y agoI don't care about seek times if we can have media with orders of magnitude more storage capacity and life expectancy. (of course if you can also have good seek times, it would be icing on the cake)
- GhettoComputers 5y agoWhat kind of data are you trying to store? How much of it? I can’t imagine my life being more than 100 GB and probably much smaller, probably under 20GB.

- azinman2 5y agoThis is for archival purposes. Seek times don’t matter for that use case.
- Hamuko 5y agoSeek times always matter even if they're not the top priority. And especially if we're talking about a storage medium that takes in a whopping 500 TB.
