Cerabyte claims that its new type of glass storage can last up to 5,000 years.
According to TH reports, recently, storage startup Cerabyte shared a video demonstrating rigorous tests on its glass storage medium.
The company took a thin slice of its glass storage medium and boiled it in a kettle filled with salt water (100°C). Then, to further test it, they baked it in a pizza oven (250°C).
This durability demonstration was intended to prove that, even under extreme conditions, the data on Cerabyte’s glass storage remains “100% intact.”
Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Germany, Cerabyte aims to revolutionize data storage by commercializing a medium as durable “as hieroglyphs.”
It is understood that the ceramic glass material used in these durability tests stores data by forming nanoscale holes in a ceramic medium with a thickness of 50 to 100 atoms using femtosecond lasers.
These ultra-thin 9 cm square glass chips write data at a rate of 2 million bits per laser pulse, with each surface capable of storing up to 1GB of data.
Looking ahead, Cerabyte hopes to reduce the cost of the medium to under $1/TB by 2030.
