@fgaz @nina_kali_nina @spacehobo whilst we can all agree that #Flash is yet to come down in #pricing for #BulkStorage to compete with #HDD or even #Tape, it's pretty certain that #BDXL¹ as storage medium doesn't have sufficient capacity and that #SSD|s can and will get cheaper, bigger and faster at way faster speeds #HDDs and #Tapes can because these older media are already at the technological "bleeding edge" when it comes to reliability.

• OFC a 3-dimensional [see VMD} or "5-dimensional" storage will obviously be even more dense, but they'll likely not achieve the necessary low price, high speed, and portability to work unless we suddenly make some serious technology jumps.
