Dataslide vibration storage technology
Disk-based storage media spin and take longer to access than flash memory. We all know that. We also know that flash memory has serious storage space limitations due to cost and manufacturing issues, which is why a British company called Dataslide are experimenting with vibration-based storage technologies that will bridge the gap between the moving media of disk-based solutions with the random access storage of flash. Basically, it works by attenuating the vibration frequency of multiple data notes, sort of like how flash memory uses multiple data notes. The difference is that each node doesn't need to be binary, expanding potential storage space exponentially. Think of it as a tuning fork loaded with MP3s. Or porn. Or both.
