So, it's a micro hard drive, right?

[Kuiper]

By the description it's a hard-drive using carbon nano tubes.

[tark!]

It's Scottish!

Just compression? Title makes it sound more complicated or important than that

I seem to recall another BBC thread with a horribly misleading name

[Boozy&Bitter]

Memory? Harddrive or RAM?

[HiddenMyst]

Umm, so technology's gotten so advanced that we've phased out SSD and gone on to using mechanical devices. Wait...... that seems like the opposite of why SSD was introduced in the first place.

[NeoDement]

Yeah I'm pretty confused here.

Most likely BBC has no clue what they're talking about. :v:

[Xolo]

A... mechanical arm?

I don't see how that could work.

[nikomo]

Tiny mechanical arm? Where have I heard that idea before?

Oh yeah.

[Unreliable]

Sounds interesting. Not sure how it beats an SSD.

[dude2193]

man this is shit, its right in the name: mechanical. it will never take on

[GlennMan]

Those things will break easily, I've seen people drop their mobile phones too often.

[Protocol7]

Yeah, drop your phone and now not only do you have to pay for screen repair, you gotta get a new carbon nanotube storage device
