Interesting....but I wonder about it's longevity.

i read an article stating these tubes would fail after about 10 years. So your still likely to have mechanical failure before your resivoir runs dry.

10 years? I'm amazed. Still, I think this is quite neat, considering the possibilities of perpendicular recording & this technology/implementation. Can I assume that performance will be greatly increased due to a higher density platter?

That's an interesting point.

you almost double your storage every 1.5 year... in 10 year, they'll have something that last 100 years.. or more.. at 10 tb

Intel had the same hopes with Moore's Law. In practicality however, that doesn't happen, because technology changes rather than simply scale.
