Heat is the number one public enemy of any electronic device. If, in addition, its operation is associated with a battery, it is always worse, because the heat can burst the battery with the danger it implies. If you thought everything had been invented in terms of storage units, it is because you do not know what the startup does, a company that has just shown, in a real environment, the result of its surveys.
Cerabbyte is a startup founded in Germany in 2022 which concentrated its activity on the creation of a glass storage system which is resistant over the years, taking advantage of the resistance of the crystal to any type of environment (all that we have encountered with glass bottles in perfect condition through the field).
The storage unit designed to last 5,000 years
The main objective of this small business is to revolutionize data storage thanks to storage means as sustainable as Egyptian hieroglyphs. This glass material is covered with a layer of ceramic which stores the information through holes at the laser nanometric scale with a thickness of 50 to 100 atoms. These glass chips write at a speed of two million bits per laser impulse and, for the moment, are able to store up to 1 GB of data.
To demonstrate the resistance of this new type of storage, the boys of Cerabbyte have tested the material in different ways. On the one hand, they boiled (it exceeds 100 degrees) in a kettle full of salt with salt, much more corrosive mixture than fresh water, and after 24 hours of operation, it is the kettle that started to corrice Instead of this unit.
He also demonstrated the high resistance of this material after having introduced it into an oven at 250 degrees for several hours. You can see here the video of the demonstration. As we can see, there is no doubt that this new material of Ceramic layer coating glass It is perfect to store data for thousands of years.
In both cases, this storage unit was released while the tests had started.
How much will it cost and when will the market reach?
All this is very good for the gallery. That by 2030, they want to reduce the price of tuberculosis to only $ 1 is excellent as long as Readers and recorders necessary to use them does not cost an eye of the face.
In addition, if this storage medium is not contacted to consumers, who really needs this type of storage to avoid losing photographs and videos as well as data, this innovative system is useful for storing large amounts of data.
Unfortunately, the main use for which this type of storage is intended is Data centers. According to the company, these chips can be stored in cartridges to store up to 10 petacts information, so an excellent option for data centers is increased.
