The journey to create new storage technologies has some big hurdles to overcome:
Complicated Development: New types of storage, like 3D XPoint and DNA storage, need tricky manufacturing steps. They also need a lot of money to get started.
Getting Businesses Onboard: It’s tough to persuade companies to switch from the traditional hard drives (HDD) and solid-state drives (SSD) they already use. They worry about compatibility and costs.
To tackle these problems, we can boost research funding and work together across the industry. This teamwork could spark new ideas and make it easier to move to new storage options that could compete with what we have now.
