Cute theory and analogy, but I think there are limits to comparing the human brain to a disc-drive. This article has passed those limits.
The article had some promise until I read that ridiculous part about “simulating” the brain with a hard disc drive. What a joke.
I installed an SSD on my MacBook Pro a few months back and the first thing you learn is you can toss all your defrag software. You simply don’t defrag a solid state drive because the seek time is close to zero — you don’t have to move a big, high inertia magnetic head all over the disc.
