Ceramics-based storage medium consumes very little energy and lasts more than 5,000 years, creators say

Video of ceramic storage system prototype surfaces online — 10,000TB cartridges bombarded with laser rays could become mainstream by 2030, making slow hard drives and tapes obsolete::Ceramics-based storage medium consumes very little energy and lasts more than 5,000 years, creators say

    But ceramic plates can probably be put into a working enclosure to get the data from it again

      Just like how if you put a shattered CD in an apparatus, you can still use a laser reader to recover any data on the undamaged sections.

      Though, because data is recorded in a circular pattern at high speeds, you won’t get much. Or what you get will have lots of corruption. I wonder what pattern of storage these plates use? If it’s similar to SSDs, then large files can be nested in a very small area of space - increasing the chances of recovery.
