Read/write speeds will likely be limited by max rpm that any type of spinning media is constrained by. but what do you think about the long term data archival possibilities? This will not replace large data centers as those need the read/write speeds only able to be provided by alternative storage devices. But for long term storage that does not get accessed frequently, or for backups of massive amounts of media on your personal nas, all without the failure rate of hdds or the long term data degradation of all forms of flash based storage. I just hope that these can be mass produced quickly for commercial purposes and in a format with higher re-write's then the current dvd/cd-rw.
