"..... Western Digital is talking about the possibility of 40TB enterprise hard drives using MAMR by 2025, which is a mind-boggling amount of storage. The first hard drives with MAMR technology could hit the market around 2019 or 2020."

pray no bad sectors :s13:

Wow, that would be a lot of prawn.

Nah, the tech isn't anywhere near usable. The read and write bandwidth is horribly low compared to state of art consumer electronics. You won't want to wait hours for the data to be loaded, while expending energy and chemicals to sequence and reassemble the contiq reads to access the data. On top of that, the data cannot be guaranteed to have 100% fidelity when retrieved (limitations of present sequencing and assembly tech). So yeah.

As always, multiple back up copies, multiple back up copies, multiple back up copies.
