    Why would you want that? This is, permanent storage. You write to it and that’s it, it’ll hold the data, and only that data, forever.

    This method of data storage will not be useful to the average consumer, and this company is hoping to replace hard drives in data centers for cold storage.

      Why wouldn’t it be? Do you believe nobody stores data at home that they would want to have for longer than 5-10 years?

      You had tricks on cd’s and such to make it kinda work as read/write storage.
