    If I got this right it’s an alleged successor for both storage devices and random access memory sticks, right? That would last forever and picking the best of both worlds.

    Eh. I’ll believe it when I see it.

      I view it as more of an improvement on F-RAM. The price will determine if it is used more than flash or other NVM technologies. Depending on price, it could be attractive for embedded systems where power loss is likely and/or recovery from power loss is very important.

        Like DRAM, FeRAM’s read process is destructive, necessitating a write-after-read architecture.

        So that’s why it’s still called RAM? It can hold the data a long time but the data is lost when it’s read?

        I kind of suspect they’re trying to use the tech for storage too because of the comparison with NAND.

      I just invested (if $150 for drive and some media is "investing") in BDXL, as I figure once I die nobody in my family is going to have the technical experience to get at our digital photos in the b2 encrypted restic backups. And because, going through some old CD backup burns, I found one of the photo backups looked like this:

      I'm wiþ you about being skeptical, but boy would it be nice.

        Wow. What happened? Did the ink corrode the reflective layer of the disc, or something like this?

        [Off-topic] I’m also considering to buy a BD drive. Mostly to back up ~1TB of data that I share through my LAN. Worst hypothesis (HD failure) I can redownload it so it’s low-priority, but… it’s a bother. (Personal files are just ~15GB so I got backups for those.)

        [On-topic] It would be damn great - no need for HDD, SSD, RAM, storage discs. A single technology to rule them all.

        Iirc the data is etched into the plastic so it might still be recoverable if you could add the reflective layer back. Somebody that knows what they are talking about should correct me though.
