Plus there's a problem with this tech, since your fabricating the millions of heads like you would a memory chip or CPU, that takes up A LOT of the wafer space. So the cost for each of these drives would be around $1000, just for manufacture cost's.
It's not going to be worth it, SSD's are going to be increasing in speed quite a bit, especially when we start getting down to the fabrication processes that use graphene and carbon nanotubes.

I work in a nanotech lab and I'll tell you that it will be YEARS before you start seeing graphene and carbon nanotube-based chips being sold commercially.

oh c'mon guys. that's HARDLY a 'first' type banworthy comment. i was exhausted at work- surely you've all done things in a work stupor before.
