Interesting read. I kinda got a chuckle out of this.

However, Seagate's chief technology officer, Mark Kryder, said the project had few real implications for the data-storage industry.
"Certainly we are not going to start packaging linear accelerators into hard disk drives, so the kinds of speeds achieved in these experiments would never be observed in an actual recording device," Kryder said. "It's not something that's going to impact anything we're contemplating in hard disk drives."

I can't wait for magnetic media to become obsolete - so unreliable and delicate... I am confident that the superior information density and speed of crystal (holographic) storage will inevitably supplant magnetic media.
How does 1TB of removable storage sound? It sure would beat the huge stack of backup CDs that I have now (which are a dreadful pain to search for anything on as high spin rates cause the disk to take for ever to load and unload - searching through 30 backup CDs can take hours...)
I would love to be able to carry my lifetime of data in a few cubic centimeters. It would save sooo much time...
