  Unix admins have been using a far better technology for decades: Store in /dev/null, extract from dev/random. The write speeds are just as fast, but you will eventually get your results back. It is said that it'd be quicker to extract the next Game of Thrones novel from this system than to wait for George R R Martin to finish writing it.
