These would be great for backup storage. As far as using them for PC’s and laptops, SSD’s are the only way to go IMO.
It’s just the beginning of the potential of this type of hard drive using graphene but what if in a couple of years, SSD drives made with the technology start appearing...or a similar hard drive with equal access times...
Imagine 10TB at SSD access speeds....that’s the logical progression...
I purchased a new laptop a couple of months ago and you’re right SSD is the way to go, I have a couple of 2TB portable drives I carry as backup devices, but nothing beats the speed of the SSD right now, especially on boot up, turn on the laptop and be working in under 30 seconds is a wonderful thing..
A lot of the bigger servers and back up solutions I build for my clients use a mix of drive architecture.
SSD’s have their limits. Predictive failure is based on read/writes instead of platter revolutions.
Still waiting for someone to come up with data storage based on electron spin or some other quantum-level stored energy potential.
