The secret to packing that much information on such small real estate--about 15 times denser than the densest data storage device currently in existence--is self-assembly, or tricking the disk's materials into organizing into an array of data-storing dots packed far tighter than what could be accomplished with current techniques.
Retrieving and storing data from a hard-disk drive takes one million times longer than accessing it from server memory, a difference that can severely degrade application performance.
