Looks like IBM has been busy...
Phase Change Memory with 1 million endurance cycles. (planar TLC NAND is at 3000 or less)

Things are looking mighty interesting in the memory world, I really can't wait to be able to dump all the spinners, and go full solid state without breaking the bank.

Sounds great for archival purposes, but in 99.9% of cases even 1000 cycles is more than enough. I guess it could replace tape drives for good finally.
