1 year agoI don’t think it’s that type of “durable.” I think they mean you can read from it forever without having to rewrite the data, which currently isn’t true of platter and solid state storage. This isn’t screen technology, though, it’s storage technology, so I’m not sure the comparison is useful.
Good point, maybe. But yeah, this isn’t rewritable media, this is archival data storage.
