Is this different than the quartz long-term data storage developed by Hitachi?
- tmikaeld 3y agoThere's not much known on the Hitachi project and there's not been any news since it was first mentioned in 2012. However, project silica is also using Quartz glass.
- mitthrowaway2 3y agoI would assume that the silence around Hitachi's product reflected a lack of market interest, so I'm curious about why Microsoft wants to walk the same path.
- tmikaeld 3y agoMaybe Microsoft can find a market for it, they do have enormous datacenters and lasers are always getting cheaper. Especially due to femtosecond lasers becoming very common for laser eye surgery, driving down cost a lot.
