DataSlide has come out of stealth mode with a very creative SSD replacement technology. They call it a Hard Rectangular Disk or HRD.
Here’s DataSlide’s quick overview:
DataSlide applies technology in new, patented ways to achieve unprecedented high performance 160,000 IOPS & 500MB/sec and low power <4 Watts for a magnetic storage device:
A piezoelectric actuator keeps the rectangular media in precise motion
A diamond solid lubricant coating protects the surfaces for years of worry free service
A massively parallel 2D array of magnetic heads reads from or writes to up to 64 embedded heads at a time
It looks like this:
