"Cerabyte has released a video showcasing the potential of its long-anticipated
ceramics-based data storage system that promises to revolutionize how
organizations store data on data centers in the future.

In contrast to data usually stored on the best hard drives and the best SSDs of
today, Cerabyte wants to use ceramic material, combined with glass, to hold
mountains of data. For instance, it wants to build palm-sized cartridges that
can store 10,000TB of data.

It does this by arranging layers of a special type of ceramic into a surface
that's 300 micrometers thick, on top of a glass base. Data can be written at
GBps speeds, with TB/square-centimeter areal densities – much greater than the
density of HDDs which only hit 0.02TB/square-centimeter right now.

Now, hot on the heels of key information that emerged last month, the firm has
launched a demonstration of a fully operational prototype system."
