Exabyte = 1 billion Gigabytes! WOW! That is a lot.
The advances made in memory are amazing to me. But what is even better still, is that we have only scratched the surface of possibilities. IBM is working on creating a new concept for memory.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
Don't make computers seek out data. Make the data move to where it can be used.
That, roughly, is one way to describe the racetrack memory concept, which IBM argues could one day lead to memory that could hold 100 times more data than flash memory does today and cost 100 times less. So that 2GB card you bought for $20 this week would hold 200GB, or more than a lot of notebook hard drives, and cost 20 cents.
