3-D Memory May Revolutionize PC Data Storage

Posted by Roblimo on from the many-a-slip-twixt-the-lab-and-the-store-shelf dept.

Lots and lots of people have turned us on to this story and this follow-up in The Register about a "three-dimensional memory system" that is supposed to pack up to "2300GB into a PC Card-sized device" and may cost as little as $30 to manufacture. Sounds great, but it's apparently still in the pre-vaporware stage of development so don't throw away your hard drives quite yet.

    Well, they have all the news - the problem is to know which of them are true... But they are certainly entertaining ;-)

    Has it ever occurred to you that God might be a committee?

    Wait till they invent storage devices that work in the 4th dimention (time)! Just think:
    "Professor invents 4 dimentional storage device. Coming to stores 20 years ago!"
