Laser hard drives coming?

[James86]

A new technique that uses heat and ultra-fast lasers to record data on hard drives could pave the way for speedier and more compact storage tech. Using this new technology hard drive capacities could be as high as 10 terabytes per square inch

This dude has got a valid point

SSD is still better in the long run.

Quite interesting, but also is this one.Both have their limits.

I'm gonna put my faith into SSD's for mainstream computing. If laser drives like that catch on, I think they'd only appeal to people with servers.etc

SSD is still better in the long run, i think so too

much better for now to use SSD! I still should get one...

Nice technology... we will see.

Thanks for the cool bit of tech news! I'm sticking with SSD tech for now. I wonder if these hot, hot laser drives are safe toss around like an SSD.
