What about read-write times? At some stage, storage density is not per-se the only issue. Speed, energy efficiency, error rates etc. are now to the fore in alo

  Doesn't read-write on a hard drive generally scale with linear density? Twice as fast to read, half as fast to read the entire disk.

    All things being equal. But that's the question -- is there something we are missing? I was surprised this would not be mentioned as a feature, for example, if it were true. But there is only this remark at the end: “One challenge is to achieve long-range order using copolymers without defects over large areas,” he says. With millions of data-storing dots on a disk’s platter, error rates must be very low to avoid significant numbers of them being positioned incorrectly.
