    24GB, surely 24TB?

    Will these be as fast as SSD's?

    At sequential transfers, for that data density, sure.

    Random access still has the seek problem, though. In fact, positioning your head to a track that's 10nm wide might be difficult... I'm guessing tracks will be wider than that.

    Hmm, maybe I'll hold off replacing my 3 1.5Tb drives in my RAID array 3x24Tb (48Tb RAID5) sounds good to me

    The rebuild times would be crazy with drives that big. RAID6, RAIDZ2 or even RAID1 across three drives would be a little bit safer.

    Minor nitpick: Tb != TB.

    Definitely RAID-6/Z2 for disks that large. Chances of an unrecoverable read error on another disk during a resilver would be too high for my liking otherwise.

    I believe on disks that large with current unrecoverable bit error rates for consumer HDD's, an unrecoverable error on restore is actually more likely than not!

    This'll be a nice stop-gap between now and holographic (if and when). (Reminds me a bit of Red-Eye.)
