"3D Flash may be the answer, but does it scale?"
Yes. Samsung say they can ship 127 layers (up from their current 32) immediately
"Meanwhile, when HAMR goes into production, "spinning rust" will scale to tens of Tb per drive."
The last hard drive research lab was shut down in 2008 and staff laid off. Shingling came to market 5 years late. HAMR may rejuvenate the market, but our exoerience over a few thousand drives is that reliability is declining, so do you want to trust 10s of Gb to a single fragile drive?
