  this guy from Tom’s hardware doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about, so, go to the original :

  Single-mode fibers, used for long-distance communication, send only one light signal at a time, usually from a laser. Multimode fibers have a wider core and allow multiple light signals from LEDs to travel through them. However, these signals bounce off the fiber’s edges, which can scramble the data.

  Scientists have ways to fix this problem, like using artificial neural networks or spatial light modulators, but these methods take time and use a lot of energy. They also require changing the light signals into electrical signals before processing them, which slows things down.

  To solve this issue, researchers added tiny diffractive neural networks, about the size of a grain of salt, to the ends of ultra-thin multimode fibers. These networks can read and process light signals in real-time without needing complex computing power.

  Conventional HDD are less expensive because they do not require lithography on the platters. But with this new technology that would change. So there wouldn’t be a price advantage, this is to say 100 terabytes would cost as much as if it was SSDs, i.m.o.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WD's new HDMR tech to enable record-breaking 100TB+ drives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This technology is projected to be quite expensive as bit-patterned disks must be physically patterned using lithography or etching equipment in cleanrooms.

  … at this point, just go for SSD

  There are still many challenges that face this new data storage technique, like how dust would affect them and how long they would last in storage.

  … and also : how impractical and extremely expensive it all is today … it’s only at the research stage.
